It’s time for another Classics Club Spin event! So what exactly is the Classics Club Spin? Here is the description from the Classics Club web site:
“It’s easy. At your blog, before next Sunday 12th June, 2022, 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: August 7, 2022.”
I enjoy these Classics Club spins, although I haven’t always finished the book or reviewed it in a timely manner. However, since it’s supposed to be a fun, stressless event, I just read for the enjoyment of it, and like having the book chosen for me at random.
So for Spin #30, here are the twenty choices from my Classics Club List (round 2):
-
- Austin, Mary Hunter: The Land of Little Rain
- Beston, Henry: The Northern Farm: A Glorious Year on a Small Maine Farm
- Buck, Pearl S: Sons
- Conrad, Pam: My Daniel
-
Doyle, Arthur Conan: The Sign of the Four
- Fleming, Ian: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car
- Gunther, John: Death Be Not Proud
- Hinton, S.E.: The Outsiders
- Morrison, Toni: Home
- Narayan, R.K.: Malgudi Days
- Proust, Marcel: Days of Reading
- Pym, Barbara: Some Tame Gazelle
- Sorensen, Virginia: Miracles on Maple Hill
- Soseki, Natsume: Kokoro
- Trollope, Anthony: Barchester Towers
- Verne, Jules: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
- von Arnim, Elizabeth: The Caravaners
- Wharton, Edith: In Morocco
- Whitman, Walt: Walt Whitman’s Diary: A Summer in Canada, 1880
- Wiesel, Elie: Night
Happy reading to all those participating in this 30th Classics Club Spin!

You have a variety of interesting choices! Sometimes I have a great deal of difficulty reading a book that I think I should read and actually wanting to read it. The spin is a good way to to turn should into will! I love your current header.

Marlo, I’m very much the same way about reading books that I ‘should’ read. I’ve been mostly successful with my Spin reading, but not 100%. It’s fun, though, to see what number is chosen.

Good luck… the only one of these I’ve read is Night. Oh, and I’m sure I must have read the Chitty-chitty bang-bang, but all I remember is the movie.

You must read Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! It is NOTHING like the movie (thank heavens!!) it is a spy tale at heart with gritty criminals and the daring family who take them on!
