I keep meaning to reread it to see if it's as amazing as 14-year-old me thought. I have Dorian Gray AND East of Eden on my list as well.

Dickens is another favorite and AToTC is excellent (but if you read the Penguin edition, there is a MAJOR spoiler in the endnotes, so beware! I'm still mad about this). And my book group is reading The Optimist's Daughter in June so I would also love to read a post about that. Best of luck with your spin pick!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-31239906777428626902019-04-15T22:32:30.498-07:002019-04-15T22:32:30.498-07:00Death Comes For the Archbishop was wonderful and I...Death Comes For the Archbishop was wonderful and I also enjoyed A Picture of Dorian Grey.

Silas Marner, The Big Sleep, Sherlock Holmes! I read Dracula for RIP last fall, and it was a great read and less creeptastic than I feared.reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818057262934008241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-258464846721376812019-04-15T20:34:11.459-07:002019-04-15T20:34:11.459-07:00I love so many here, especially 1 and 19.
