The Classic Club is hosting a mini reading challenge, entitled The Classic Spin. For the Spin I (and any other joiners) choose and number twenty books from their classics list and post it on their blog. The hosts will pick a number at random and I will read the book that corresponds with that number.
So without further ado…
- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
- Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Jezabel’s Daughter by Wilkie Collins
- A Modern Mephistopheles by Louisa May Alcott
- Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
- The Odyssey by Homer
- Ada by Valdimir Nabokov
- Pere Goriot by Honore de Balzac
- The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
- The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
- A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
- The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
- The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- Animal Farm by Gorge Orwell
- Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
- Watership Down by Richard Adams
- The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Great list! The only one we have in common is Mansfield Park and I have it listed at number 17. I can't wait to see what number they choose and what everyone will be reading. =O)
I have Wives and Daughters at No 2 as well – I'd be happy if that comes up. Good luck with the draw and hope you like the chosen one.
Ahhh Watership Down! A lot of love for that book.
I like how you've selected different titles than the well-known ones for most authors – good luck!
