Classics Club Spin List

2/18/2014

Okay, so I know I'm late on this one. I was supposed to have my list posted by last Monday. But I totally missed that memo somehow, and I don't know what spin number was chosen, so I'm going to post my list now. I haven't participated in one of these spins yet, and I've been looking forward to it. I'm not going to let a measly thing like being a week late get in my way!

So without further ado, here is my Classics Club Spin List:
1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
2. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
3. Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
4. Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
5. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
6. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
7. The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
8. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
9. The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain
10. Autobiography of Anthony Trollope by Anthony Trollope
11. Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
12. Erewhon by Samuel Butler
13. The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
14. Tales of the Jazz Age by F. Scott Fitzgerald
15. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
16. Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
17. Waverly by Sir Walter Scott
18. The Good Earth by Pearl S. Bucks
19. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
20. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain

Okay, I created that list before I went and looked at the spin number. (I guess there are some perks to being a week late. Now I get to know what book to read right away.) The spin number was 20. I have until April 2 to read A Connecticut Yankee in King's Arthur Court. The only Mark Twain I've read was Huck Finn back in high school, so I'm excited about this one. Now I've just got to find time in the next six weeks to read it!

I haven't participated in a lot of their events, but I love the motivation to read classics! If it weren't for this, I'd hardly ever pick up any classics. And the five-year goal makes it doable. I hope you decide to join, Lindsey!

Yes! Great list! I have not heard of #20. I did take part in a spin last year. It was good. Motivation is what I need about half way through the year to get my classic list up to my goal of 20 books a year. In July I will have been participating for 2 years. I am happy I did! I have read some really great books that I probably would not have read.

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
