Classics Club Spin #22

It’s time for another Classics Club Spin, #22.

Here’s how it works: I post a numbered list of 20 titles from my Classics Club list. On December 22 the Classics Club curators will post a number from 1 through 20. I then have to read whatever title has that number on my list by January 31, 2020. 

Every year I have very good intentions of reading several selections from my Classics Club list, but, to tell the truth, I usually don’t remember to consult that list when I pick up my next book to read. Therefore, these periodic Spins help me stay on track to read at least a few of those books during any given year.

Here, then, is my list for Spin #22:

1. Jackson, Shirley. Just an Ordinary Day: Stories    
2. Highsmith, Patricia. The Tremor of Forgery   
3. Fowles, John. The French Lieutenant’s Woman   
4. Cather, Willa. O Pioneers!  
5. Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Crime and Punishment   
6. McEwan, Ian. Atonement   
7. Rendell, Ruth. The Crocodile Bird   
8. Nabokov, Vladimir. Pale Fire  
9. Agee, James. A Death in the Family  
10. Vonnegut, Kurt. Cat’s Cradle   
11. Baker, Nicholson. The Mezzanine  
12. Howard, Elizabeth Jane. The Long View   
13. Brookner, Anita. Hotel Du Lac   
14. Piercy, Marge. Woman on the Edge of Time   
15. Faulkner, William. Absalom, Absalom!   
16. Connell, Evan S. Mr. Bridge   
17. James, Henry. The Beast in the Jungle  
18. Wharton, Edith. Ghost Stories   
19. Jewett, Sarah Orne. The Country of the Pointed Firs   
20. Hardy, Thomas. Far From the Madding Crowd

And now, I eagerly anticipate December 22.

Update

And the winner is . . . lucky #13. So I will be reading Hotel Du Lac by Anita Brookner.
