It is time for the 27th edition of the Classics Club Spin – List 20 books from my Classics Club TBR, the moderators will pick a random number between 1 - 20, and I then have until August 22nd to read the corresponding book.
You’re probably wondering why August 22nd ?
In honor of National Pecan Torte Day of course.
My spin list
1. At Play in the Fields of the Lord
2. The Recognitions
3. Portnoy’s Complaint
4. The Adventures of Oliver Twist
5. Death of the Heart
6. The Worm Ouroboros
7. The Magus
8. Foundation
9. Martin Chuzzlewit
10. Dombey and Son
11. Little Dorrit
12. Barnaby Rudge
13. Nightmare Abbey
14. Our Mutual Friend
15. Loving
16. A House for Mr. Biswas

20. The Maltese Falcon
I guess I’m hoping for #6. Nothing here I’m dreading though.
Lots of lovely Dickens on the list! I loved Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit, and Our Mutual Friend, and I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed Barnaby Rudge, which is possibly Dickens' least-read novel. Scoop is also quite fun. Good luck with your spin pick!
ReplyDeleteOh good. I didn't know what to expect from Scoop. Thanks for the feedback :)
DeleteA fun-looking list. I'd never heard of The Silver Sword, which looks fun. Maltese Falcon is great as a novel, too, but it is hard not to think of the voices of Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Humphrey Bogart...
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's a little hard to separate Bogart from Sam Spade. I'm sure I'll read envisioning him and hearing his voice. Enjoy your spin read!
