Just when I had selected my next classic as I’m planning to read ‘The catcher in the rye’ somewhere this month, I saw the announcement of the next classics club spin. The rules of a CC spin are easy:
- List twenty yet to read books from your classics club list and number them from 1 to 20.
- On Sunday, the 17th of October a number is randomly drawn
- You’ve have to read and review the book corresponding the number by 12th December.
So, my spin result will provide some inspiration for my November TBR. I still have lots of books to go, so it wasn’t hard to choose 20 books. This is my list:
- Richard III by William Shakespeare
- Orlando by Virginia Woolf
- A clockwork orange by Anthony Burgess
- North and south by Elizabeth Gaskell
- The remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
- And then there were none by Agatha Christie
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoj
- Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
- Tender is the night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- The bell jar by Sylvia Plath
- Love in time of cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- East of Eden by John Steinbeck
- Dracula by Bram Stoker
- The prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
- Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier
- The trial by Franz Kafka
- The fifth queen by Ford Madox Ford
- The woman in white by Wilkie Collins
- Great expectations by Charles Dickens
Come back this Sunday to discover which one will be my result.
Which number do you think I should get?
I’ve read a few of the books on your list and my favourites are the Wilkie Collins and Agatha Christie. Good luck!

Hard to pick just one as you’ve got lots of really good titles on there! I do love Orlando tho, and Remains of the Day, so looking forward to your thoughts whenever you get to those. ๐
