The Classics Spin #5
I missed the last four Spin events hosted by the Classics Club so its time to finally participate in one of them. The challenge this time around is to list 20 books left to read from the Classics Club Challenge, which will then become my Classics Spin list. A random number (between 1-20) will be selected on Monday by members running the event and then it is up to participants to read the book corresponding with the chosen number by April 2. Sounds like a hoot! Or it could totally backfire and I have to end up reading one of those intimidating novels on my list like Middlemarch by George Eliot, Swann's Way by Proust or The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoeyevsky. Ok, here we go:- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- Persuasion by Jane Austen
- Swann's Way by Proust
- The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
- The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
- East of Eden by John Steinbeck
- A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
- Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
- Native Son by Richard Wright
- The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoeyevsky
- Notes from the Underground by Dostoeyevsky
- Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf
- Orlando by Virginia Woolf
- Stoner by John Edward Williams
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Sula by Toni Morrison
- The Awakening and Other Stories by Kate Chopin
- Middlemarch by George Eliot
- North and South by Mary Barton
- Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
The top 5 most anticipated:- Stoner by John Edward Williams
- Orlando by Virginia Woolf
- Sula by Toni Morrison
- Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf
- Notes from the Underground by Dostoeyevsky
Happy reading and good luck to everyone participating in the Spin!
