Classics Club, Spin #40


It’s time for another Classics Club spin.

This is the Classics Club’s 40th CC Spin…I wonder how many I have participated in. At least 2/3rd maybe even more, I'd guess.

What is a CC Spin?

  • Simply pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from a list of 20 classic book titles you'd still like to read.
  • Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog before Sunday, 16th February.
  • A number from 1-20 will be announced. 
  • Read that book by 11th April.

Here is my list of  Twenty Classics for Spin #40-- Winter 2025

  1. Something by Dickens
  2. A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
  3. The Tenet of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
  4. Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams by Sylvia Plath*
  5. The Magnificent Ambersons by Tarkington
  6. Hamlet by Shakespeare
  7. All the King’s Men by Warren
  8. The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky*
  9. Now In November by Johnson
  10. The Reivers by William Faulkner
  11.  Excellent Women by Pym
  12. Something by Shakespeare
  13. Some book that won the Pulitzer Prize (over 50 years ago)
  14.  Candide by Voltaire
  15. Something by Ray Bradbury
  16. David Copperfield by Dickens*
  17. Grimm’s Fairy Tales*
  18. The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne
  19. Silas Marner by Eliot*
  20. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle*

*Books I own. I'M HOPING TO FINALLY GET THEM READ AND OFF MY LIST!




And the winning number is...

4 ... oops my e-reader is faltering so I will select a print book I own, probably The Brothers Karamazov, if it dies so I can't read the Sylvia Plath essays and short stories. 


So I will see if I can find on my e-reader: Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams by Sylvia Plath. A collection of short stories and essays.
