I was just thinking another Classics Club Spin would be nice and it appeared!
The Spin rules:
- List any twenty books you have left to read from your Classics Club list.
- Number them from 1 to 20.
- On Monday the Classics Club will announce a number.
- This is the book to read by 1 December 2016.
I decided to organise my list in page number order from short to enormous. I want to read all of them at some time but right now as I have a backlog of other books that I want to read before December, I hope that one of the shorter books (that is numbers 1 – 4) is chosen!

I’m also hoping for a slim volume although I think you’ll find you will enjoy the Gaskell’s so much that you’ll read them quickly.

Good luck! I hope you manage to avoid the longer books – although I did enjoy some of those, particularly Wives and Daughters and Lorna Doone.

Some lovely choices here and several that I’ve read and enjoyed. I better get my own list posted. Since mine will be in chronological order, if you get a short book I shall get an old one!

Secretly I’m hoping you get Martin Chuzzlewit – is that really mean of me? 😉 But it’s such a great book even if it is on the long side… Hope you get one you enjoy!

You’ve got a terrific variety here, Margaret! I’ll be interested in what you think of Love in the Time of Cholera; it’s quite a different sort of book…
