Earlier this year I started participating in the Classics Spin and I have really enjoyed all three books that I have read so far so I am excited to see what the spin throws up for me this time!
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 next 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 and share a review by January 3.
Interestingly I did have a number of Christmassy books on my master list, and not one of them came up when I did my random number generator! Oh well.
Here's my list
1 The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank2 Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff
3 The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Sparks
4 The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier
5 Maigret by Georges Simenon
6 The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart
7 The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin
8 A Room with a View by EM Forester
9 The Women in Black by Madeleine St John
10 Tales of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
11 Any book I haven't read before by Georgette Heyer
12 Daisy Miller by Henry James
13 Grand Hotel by Vicki Baum
14 Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
15 Fellowship of the Ring by J R R Tolkien
16 Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
17 The Plains by Gerald Murnane
18 Middlemarch by George Eliot
19 The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh
20 A Son at the Front Edith Wharton
Have you read any of these? Do we have any classics in common? Are you participating in the Spin this time?
