Classics Club Spin #34

After not completing the last spin on time, due to feeling a bit behind and swamped with books, I’m actually in a place where I’m feeling ready for the next one. (We’re overlooking the fact that I’m still behind on reviews.) So here goes!

I took all of the titles I have left (minus one that I know is on my list for book club this fall) and randomized them. The first twenty to come up on that random list is what makes up this spin, in the order they appeared. I wasn’t sure how this would turn out but actually looks to be a good one.

1. Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) by Jules Verne
2. The War of the Worlds (1898) by H.G. Wells
3. The Dubliners (1914) by James Joyce
4. Dune (1965) by Frank Herbert
5. The Idiot (1869) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
6. The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920) by Agatha Christie
7. On the Road (1957) by Jack Kerouac
8. Pygmalion (1913) by George Bernard Shaw
9. The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) by Ursula K. Le Guin
10. This Side of Paradise (1920) by F. Scott Fitzgerald
11. Indiana (1832) by George Sand
12. Don Quixote (1605-1615) by Miguel de Cervantes
13. The Marble Faun (1860) by Nathaniel Hawthorne
14. The Iliad by Homer
15. Till We Have Faces (1956) by C.S. Lewis
16. Barnaby Rudge (1841) by Charles Dickens
17. The Gambler (1887) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
18. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
19. Love in a Time of Cholera (1985) by Gabriel García Márquez
20. To Kill A Mockingbird (1960) by Harper Lee (re-read)

I actually wouldn’t mind any of these for my summer read, although there are a couple I would be less excited about than others. But that’s always the way. At least it keeps me working away at the list in among my other reads.
