- A Passage to India by E. M. Forster
- The Man Who Knew Too Much by G. K. Chesterton
- The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
- Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
- Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin

And the Spin is #13 – One Hundred Years of Solitude. ย Hope to have a post ready by January 5, 2015.
The Warden was just a lovely book and my first introduction to Trollope. Oh, and The Man Who Knew Too Much ……. I just read The Man Who Was Thursday by Chesterton and am convinced he is one of the most underrated authors ever. It was just brilliant!
I hope you have a great spin and get the book that you want!
You have some wonderful titles on your list. I loved Mill on the Floss, Cranford and The good Soldier. Hope the spin is kind to you!
Great list. I think you will be happy with any number on monday. Even if I don’t like Hemingway that much, I enjoyed reading The Sun Also Rises because of its setting. Lucky spin for you!
You have some good ones on your list. I didn’t realize that Chesterton wrote The Man Who Knew Too Much, if it is the same as the movie.

Wow! We share quite a few interests in the Classics! ๐ I do not think I have all of them listed on my own tCC List as of yet either! lol Of this entire list of choice, I must say, the two that stand out to me are the ones I love in motion picture: The Invisible Man & The Man Who Knew Too Much!! Did you see either of them on the screen prior to wanting to read them!? I admit — I hadn’t even realised when I had seen them they were *books!* I sometimes find myself a bit left out of the loop which films are based on books & which are strictly original screenplays!
I see you have an appreciation for Magical Realism! I do as well — started with my absolute JOY in finding “The Golem and the Jinni” at my local library — from there I seek out Magical Realism titles and of course, I’m curating a bit of liberty on my tCC List as I’m adding what I consider to be ‘next classics or modern classics’ choices! I even found a few Magical Realism books on blog tours which I happily hosted,… wells, wait “Lemongrass Hope” was a non-blog tour review & boy was that a curiously wicked novel! Have you read that one!? (you can see the review if you visit my Story Vault)
Have fun!
