Classics Club Spin is back! Sign up by Friday, Nov. 17th to join in.

It is Classics Club Spin #16. Time to read another classic book!

 For details on how to join in a #CCSpin, click on the link here.
The main thing you need to know though, is to compile your list of 20 books by this Friday, November 17th.

On that day a number will be randomly selected.
That's the book you read.

You have until the 31st of December to finish your book and review it (or just read it and enjoy it!)

Join in the fun by visiting the other players and commenting on their lists.

Here is my list. Feel free to read along with me or create your own list.  This time I am selecting books I own, books I have had on my shelves for years (some since junior high school), and I am excited to have a good excuse to finally read one of these classics:

  1. Dracula
  2. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
  3. Silas Marner
  4. My Brilliant Career
  5. Jane Eyre
  6. Anne of Avonlee
  7. Anna Karenina
  8. David Copperfeld
  9. Go Tell It On the Mountain
  10. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
  11. Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs
  12. The Picture of Dorian Gray
  13.  Classic American Short Stories
  14.  The Autobiography of an X-Colored Man
