Classics Club Spin #45 is Coming


It’s time for another Classics Club Spin!.

What is the spin?

It’s easy.  Before next Sunday 16th August, 2026 create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on my Classics Club list.

This is my Spin List.

I will have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.

I'm hoping I get a book I already own: The Sun Also Rises or The Good Earth, so I don't have to buy another.

On Sunday 16th August CC hosts will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by the 4th October, 2026.

The CC Club will check in on the 4th October to see who made it the whole way and finished their spin book! I hope I'm one of them.

My List 

(For three of the weeks of this time frame I will be on a trip, so I am limiting my choices to books I think I can finish before I leave or are small enough to carry along with me. That is why I have some duplicates.)
