Classics Club Spin #46

Time for another Classics Club Spin. I just looked at my list and discovered I have exactly 20 books left on it. I decided to not pick out the long ones and replace them with some short novel instead. I'm going for it. I'm listing them all. I may not finish the book if it is one the clunksters, but I'll have a nice start on it going forward.

Want to join in? Here are the "rules":

• Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
• Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog before Sunday 15th November 2026.
• CC will announce a number from 1-20. 
• Read that book by 3rd January 2027.

Here is my list of 20, organized alphabetically by author:

1. The Good Earth / Buck
2. Death Comes for the Archbishop / Cather
3. Don Quixote / de Cervantes
4. Heart of Darkness / Conrad
5. The Tale of Two Cities / Dickens
6. Crime and Punishment / Dostoevsky
7. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes / Doyle
8. Invisible Man / Ellison
9. The Scarlet Letter / Hawthorne
10. Odyssey / Homer
11. On the Road / Kerouac
12. Elmer Gantry / Lewis
13. Midnight's Children / Rushdie
14. King Lear / Shakespeare
15. Dracula / Stoker
16. Anne Karenina / Tolstoy
17. War and Peace / Tolstoy
18. Scoop / Waugh
19. The Importance of Being Ernest / Wilde
20. To the Lighthouse / Woolf 

I hope to read Midnight's Children this year, but I doubt I can scrunch it in unless I am forced to by getting it for the Spin book. I'd also like to be forced to read Don Quixote, See how this Spin activity forces my hand?
