Classics Spin #2 #ccspin


I missed the first one and really wanted to do it the last time around, so here I go.  Here is what the folks over at The Classics Club say about it:


  • Go to your blog.
  • Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
  • Try to challenge yourself: list five you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients — whatever you choose.)
  • Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog by next Monday.
  • Monday morning, we’ll announce a number from 1-20. Go to the list of twenty books you posted, and select the book that corresponds to the number we announce.
  • The challenge is to read that book by July 1, even if it’s an icky one you dread reading! (No fair not listing any scary ones!)
Here is my list:
  1. Middlemarch
  2. Little Women
  3. Jane Eyre
  4. Emma
  5. Northanger Abbey
  6. Villette
  7. North and South
  8. Agnes Grey
  9. Sense & Sensibility
  10. The Canterbury Tales
  11. Tess of the D'Urbervilles
  12. Antony and Cleopatra
  13. As You Like It
  14. Twelfth Night
  15. Madame Bovary
  16. Much Ado About Nothing
  17. Othello
  18. The Tempest
  19. Richard III
  20. David Copperfield
I honestly don't know which one that I am hoping for, but if I did have one that I would prefer it would probably be No. 7 or 10.
