The Classics Club is motivating us once again to, well, read the classics! We are doing THE CLASSICS SPIN!
This means is I pick 20 books from classics list. On Monday the club will pick a number between 1 and 20 and whatever book on my list that corresponds with that number, I read NOW!
So, here we go!
- Emma by Jane Austen
- The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
- The Trail of the Serpent by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
- The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins
- Silas Marner by George Eliot
- Excellent Women by Barbara Pym
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
- Miss Marjoriebanks by Mrs Oliphant
- Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
- The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
- The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
- Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
- Far from the Maddening Crowd by Thomas Hardy
- O Pioneers by Willa Cather
- Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
- Aurora Floyd by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
- Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
- Old Yeller by Fred Gipson
- Joy in the Morning by Betty Smith
I can’t wait to hear the number. I’m hoping for the Wilkie though. I’m due some Wilkie.
I’ve been meaning to read The Scarlet Pimpernel for years. I have it on my e-reader but I just never seem to get to it.
Great fun
) I’d dread Dr Zhivago, such a big tome is more than I’d be ready for right now.
I love the idea of the Classics Club Spin!!!!
Of Mice and Men is a nice short and enjoyable read, so you should read it soon anyway!
I am due for some Wilkie, too… I did really good with classics one year but not the last couple!
