Just because I have been doing this book blogging thing for a very long time (more than 20 years but who's counting!) doesn't mean that I can't try at new things.
This year, I have decided that I should try to read more Classics, and so I am joining the Classics Club Spin.
The idea is that you put up a list of Classics you want to read numbered 1 to 20, the spin will happen and that is the number book that you have to read. You can find a much better explanation of the rules at the Classics Club itself, but I am sure you get the idea.
The lucky spin number will be announced on Sunday so not too long to wait to see what book the fates have selected for me. The big challenge will be to see if I can complete the read or not.
Here's my list of 20 books
1. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
2. The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lamdedusa
3. Middlemarch by George Elliot
4. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
5. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
6. Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
7. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
8. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
9. My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin
10. The Tree of Man by Patrick White
11. The Fortunes of Richard Mahoney by Henry Handel Richardson
12. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
13. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
14. The Fellowship of the Rings by J R R Tolkien
15. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (finishing it!)
16.Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
17. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
18. The Women in Black by Madeleine St. John
19. The Plains by Gerald Murnane
20. The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
Wish me luck!
