The Classics Club Spin – My List

Published on by Margaret

It’s time for another  Classics Club Spin. Before next Sunday 22nd December 2019 compile a Spin List of twenty books that remain ‘to be read’ on your Classics Club list.

On that day the Classics Club will randomly pick a number and that will be the book to read. You then have until the 31st January 2020 to finish your book and review it.

I have only 10 unread books left on my list  so, I’ve repeated the list to make the numbers up to 20.

  1. The Riddle of the Third Mile by Colin Dexter
  2. Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
  3. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
  4. Parade’s End by Ford Maddox Ford
  5. Smallbone Deceased by Michael Gilbert
  6. Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
  7. The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
  8. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  9. Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope
  10. Orlando by Virginia Woolf
  11. The Riddle of the Third Mile by Colin Dexte
  12. Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
  13. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
  14. Parade’s End by Ford Maddox Ford
  15. Smallbone Deceased by Michael Gilbert
  16. Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
  17. The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
  18. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  19. Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope
  20. Orlando by Virginia Woolf

There are several long books on my list, but for the beginning of next year I think I’d prefer one of the shorter books. What do you think?

  1. I like your list, Margaret. I’ll be especially interested if you get the Dexter or the Marquez. They’re very different books to each other, but both are good in their own ways, in my opinion.

  2. I love the two Thomas Hardy books so I would be hoping for one of those, but I also enjoyed Framley Parsonage, Oliver Twist and Orlando. Good luck!

  3. I’ve read numbers 6,7,8 and 9. I really didn’t enjoy Love in the Time of Cholera, but I loved the others.

  4. Best of luck, Margaret. I have a couple of Dickens’ books on my tbr list for next year too. Determined to get to them at long last.

  5. Since you always seem to end up with monsters and since I’m feeling kind, I’ll hope you get the very short but very good Smallbone Deceased… good luck! 😀
