What is the spin?
It’s easy. At your blog, before next Sunday, April 21st, create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list.
This is your Spin List.
You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.
Try to challenge yourself. For example, you could list five Classics Club books you have been putting off, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favourite author, re-reads, ancients, non-fiction, books in translation — whatever you choose.)
On Sunday April 21st, 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 Sunday, June 2nd.
Let's see who can make it the whole way and finished their spin book!
I haven't read many classics this year, and I'd love to get back to working on my list, so I will be joining in this spin.
So here is my list.
6. Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
7. Lost Horizon by James Hilton
8. Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis
10. Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor
11. Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser
12. Ship of Fools by Katherine Anne Porter
14. Pigeon Post by Arthur Ransome
15. Justine (The Alexandria Quartet) by Lawrence Durrell
16. The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham
18. Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
19. Village School by Miss Read
20. Zen and Zen Classics by R. H. Blyth
