The Classics Club has announced its fifth official Classics Spin and I am excited, mainly because I have never managed to participate in a spin before, even though I love the idea. To take part you have to post a list of twenty titles from your Classics Club list and on Monday a number will be announced which will determine the book you should read until April.
Here comes my choice of books and I have included some very scary titles
- Don Quixote (yes, I'm starting with scary)
- Uncle Tom's Cabin
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
- The Canterbury Tales
- Villette
- The House of the Seven Gables
- Moby Dick (ugh.)
- Beloved
- Northanger Abbey (please, please, please)
- Anna Karenina
- I know why the Caged Bird Sings
- Gone with the Wind
- Mrs Dalloway
- The Good Earth
- Tess of the D'Urbervilles
- Ulysses (the fear is self-explanatory)
- Moll Flanders
- The Bell Jar
- The Crucible
- The House of Mirth
The books I'd be most happy about are Northanger Abbey (could you tell?), Gone with the Wind, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and The Bell Jar. Which ones I would not be too ecstatic about was noticeable I think... although they'd certainly make for a challenge. So good luck to me and everyone else participating!
