It’s time for another Classics Spin. I didn’t manage to read the book from the last Spin but as we have until 5th January to read the selected book, I’m hoping to do better this time.
The rules are the same as always:
- Pick twenty unread books from your list.
- Number them from one to twenty.
- On Monday a number will be drawn.
- That’s your book, to read by 5th January.
Here’s my list:
- Lady Susan/The Watsons/Sanditon by Jane Austen
- Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor by R D Blackmore
- Out of Africa by Karen Blixen
- No Name by Wilkie Collins
- Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
- Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens
- Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
- Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
- The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
- Parade’s End by Ford Maddox Ford
- Where Angels Fear to Tread by E M Forster
- The Man Who Would Be King by Rudyard Kipling
- The Call of the Wild by Jack London
- Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
- Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
- Barchester Towers (Barsetshire Chronicles, #2) by Anthony Trollope
- The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
- The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf
These are all books from my TBR books which will help me reduce the numbers – books I’ve had for years in some cases!

I’ll be watching to see what you end up with. I think I might cheat and just pick one I’d like to read. The Man Who Would be KIng, sound like something I have hanging around along with a few others, Out of Africa..

Irene, I was thinking of doing that – I’d like to read Out of Africa soon anyway.

Great list! I have done the same as you only listing books I already own a copy of. Hoping to get my to-be-read pile down. Good luck with the spin 🙂

What an amzing list that is! I’ve only read 5 I think. Having read Beryl Markham’s flying book I’d really fancy Out of Africa too as she knew the Blixens well and mentions them a lot.

Margaret – Oh, you’ve got a solid variety here. It’ll be interesting to see which one gets the nod. And you’ve reminded me that it’s been a while since I re-read Dickens. I ought to…
