The Classics Club is doing another Classics Club Spin. In this event, all the Classics Club members are called to read a classic book within a certain amount of time. But it's not that simple. Each one who wants to participate makes a Spin list, then the Club announces a certain number and the book that it's in that list's number is the one that you have to read.
So, here is my list for spin #12:
- Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott
- A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy
- The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence
- The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald
- Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
- The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
- The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
- As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
- The Vampyre; a Tale by John William Polidori
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
- A Sentimental Journey by Laurence Sterne
- Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
- The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
- Utopia by Thomas More
- Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
- The Atom Station by Halldor Laxness
- The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham
- The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
- Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
I can't wait to find out, which book I'll have to read until May 2, 2016.
This sounds like such a great idea, I hope that #5 gets picked. Your choice for 5 is one of my favorite books of all time :D

ReplyDeleteI've seen the play Cyrano de Bergerac and I was really moved by the story :)
