Classics Club Spin #44

It is time for the 44th edition of the Classics Club Spin – List 20 books from my Classics Club “to be read” list, and post it to my blog by Sunday, May 17, 2026; the mods will then pick a random number, and I have until July 5 to read the corresponding book.

 

My spin list:

 

1. Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens

2. The Code of the Woosters by P. G. Wodehouse

3. The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

4. The Godfather by Marion Puzo

5. A Spy In The House Of Love by Anais Nin

6. The Ballad of the Sad Café by Carson McCullers

7. Grendel by John Gardner

8. The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov

9. The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

10. Cool Hand Luke by Don Pearce

11. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

12. The Silver Sword (Escape from Warsaw) by Ian Serraillier

13. Post Office by Charles Bukowski

14. The Mask of Dimitrios by Eric Ambler

15. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

16. Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

17. The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov

18. 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

19. Casino Royale by Ian Fleming

20. The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper

 

I’m hoping for The Code of the Woosters—obviously! Any of the three Sci-Fi would be OK too. Not hoping for anything loooong, so not Barnaby Rudge. I love Dickens, just not in the mood for a tome right now. Cheers!

  1. I thought The Power and the Glory was one of Greene's best--but it's not particularly short. The Mask of Dimitrios is fun and decently short!
