Hooray! It’s time for another Classics Club Spin!
How it works:
- Before next Monday 23rd September 2019, create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list. This is your “Spin List.”
- You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.
- On Monday 23 September, we’ll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List, by 31st October 2019.

I’m curious about the Martin Fierro, so I kind of hope you get that, but enjoy in any case!

Reese, I do look forward to reading it, perhaps for this Spin! It’s an epic poem.

The only one I’ve read is Night, which was very good, but also heartbreaking. Hope you get the one you want!

Les, I hope so, too! I haven’t done many of the Spins, but I really enjoyed the books that were chosen for a couple of them.

I haven’t read many on your list but I love Elizabeth von Arnim and have read all of her books so I hope you’ll get A Solitary Summer.
