It’s time for another Classics Club Spin.
Before next Sunday, 21July 2024 create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list. On that day the Classics Club will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by 22nd September, 2024. March, 2024.
Here’s my list:
- Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
- In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
- The Case of the Gilded Fly by Edmund Crispin
- The Stars Look Down by A J Cronin
- Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens
- Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
- The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Birds and other short stories by Daphne du Maurier
- I’ll Never be Young Again by Daphne du Maurier
- North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Brighton Rock by Graham Greene
- The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard
- Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith

- Daisy Miller by Henry James
- Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
- How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn
- Friends and Heroes by Olivia Manning

I hope it’s one of the shorter books! Which one/s would you recommend?
BooksPlease 
You have such a lot of good ‘uns here, Margaret. Dickens, du Maurier, Huxley., Lee…. so many! I noticed you included <i>In Cold Blood</i>. I’ll be really interested to know what you think of that one if that’s the book you get. Well, whichever novel it is, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Margot. In Cold Blood is one of the books I’ve been wanting to read for a while now. I’d be happy to read it soon – well all of them actually.

You have so many good choices here I would be hard pressed to pick just one, but I’ll say In Cold Blood. I found it totally fascinating!

We share an Orwell this spin Maragaret – so fingers crossed we get it. It would help my 2024 reading project along :-)

I read Nicholas Nickleby from June to two days ago—and I delighted in the characters. I hope the spinner stops on that one for you this time.
