The Classics Club announced a spin game and I’m in! My part is to list twenty of my classics read list choices by this weekend when they will announce a number. I’m then supposed to read that book on my list corresponding to their number and post about it before the end of October.
This picture has a bug in it. LOL
It’s easy to pick twenty books from my list that I haven’t read yet since I just started. I’ve only read ONE so far! But which books to choose? I started by eliminating any book I already have on my shelf. Yeah…I’m giving myself an excuse to buy a new book! Then I eliminated books I’ve read in the distant past. And then I eliminated doubles, only one play and one book of poetry.
I’m excited to read any of these books next, so here we go!
- Flatland by Edwin Abbott
- Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? By Edward Albee
- Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett
- The Plague by Albert Camus
- Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
- The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
- Middlemarch by George Eliot
- The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
- The Maltese Falcon by Dashiel Hammett
- The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
- The Man Who Would be King by Rudyard Kipling
- Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence
- Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
- The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
- The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
- Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
- The Red and the Black by Stendhal
- The Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams
Looks like a great list! Both The Three Musketeers and Middlemarch are on my TBR. I tried to read Middlemarch early this year but it just wasn’t the right time. So I set it aside to try at a different time. I am fairly certain it is a book I would probably really like so I didn’t want timing to mess that up. LOL
Been there with many books. Sometimes I’m just not in the mood! I’m hoping for Three Musketeers, but we’ll see what they pick! 😀
By the way, I’m commenting from my reader. I actually visited your blog and read your post there but it wouldn’t let me comment. So I came back to my reader so I could leave a comment. 🙂
Mine does that too. I love reading on my phone but it’s so wonky sometimes. I’m glad to see it’s not just me.
