It is time for another Classics Club Spin.
The spin happens on Sunday, February 8th. At that time a number will be announced and I will have until March 29th to finish that book. All you have to do, if you want to join in, is create a numbered list of 20 classics you still want to read and wait for the announcement, then commence reading.
My One-Big-Book of 2026 is Moby-Dick, so I honestly hope to have that book win the spin. I also have my own copies of Madame Bovary, The Good Earth, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes so those books would be a cinch for me to start. We'll see where the spinner stops.
