The Classics Spin #13

The Classics Spin #13

I love these Classics Spins because they get me reading the books on my list when I might otherwise avoid them.

Here’s how it works: I list 20 books here that I have yet to read from my original list of 50+ classics. Tomorrow, June 6, the Classics Club will announce a number, and I have to read whatever book on my list has that number.

So here’s my list:

1. Masters, Edgar Lee. Spoon River Anthology (1915)
2. Agee, James. A Death in the Family
3. Wilson, Sloan. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit
4. Steinbeck, John. Of Mice and Men
5. Cather, Willa. O Pioneers!
6. Smith, Dodie. I Capture the Castle (1948)
7. Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice
8. Fowles, John. The French Lieutenant’s Woman
9. Tarkington, Booth. The Magnificent Ambersons
10. Lewis, Sinclair. Babbit
11. Styron, William. Darkness Visible (1990)
12. Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Crime and Punishment
13. Hardy, Thomas. Far From the Madding Crowd
14. Adams, Richard. Watership Down
15. Burns, Olive. Cold Sassy Tree
16. O’Neill, Eugene. The Iceman Cometh
17. James, Henry. The Beast in the Jungle
18. Pym, Barbara. Excellent Women
19. Nabokov, Vladimir. Pnin
20. Woolf, Virginia. Mrs. Dalloway

And the Winner Is . . .

#15. So I will be reading Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Burns by August 1.
