Classics Club Spin

Published on by Margaret

Before next Sunday, 15 June 2025 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 the 24 August 2025.

Here’s my list:

  1. I like your choices, Margaret. I wonder what you’ll think of In Cold Blood, if that’s the one you get. To me, it was a fascinating use of fiction to tell a real-life story. I read Brave New World years ago, but haven’t since then. I think it may be time for a re-read…

  8. I also have Daisy Miller on my list. Mine’s at #9, which hasn’t been picked for a while, but neither has 15, so we have about equal chance of getting it picked.
