Perhaps without the Classics Club I wouldn’t get on this blog at all. Another spin coming up on Monday, August 24 and I’m submitting the list below. I’m looking forward to reading all of them and need a break from my mysteries (which I love too, but aren’t in the same category as these books).
- The Hunchback of Notre-Dame – Victor Hugo
- Ivanhoe – Sir Walter Scott
- The Mysterious Island – Jules Verne
- Return of the Native – Thomas Hardy
- Lord of the Flies – William Golding
- Little Men – Louisa May Alcott
- Winesburg, Ohio – Sherwood Anderson
- Go Tell It on a Mountain – James Baldwin
- The Man Who Knew Too Much – G. K. Chesterton
- The Awakening – Kate Chopin
- The Deerslayer – James Fennimore Coooper
- Robinson Crusoe – Daniel Defoe
- Mill on the Floss – George Eliot
- Invisible Man – Ralph Ellison
- A Passage to India – E. M. Forster
- The Sun Also Rises – Ernest Hemingway
- Native Son – Richard Wright
- The Aeneid – Virgil
- The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde
- All Quiet on the Western Front – Erich Maria Remarque
I have three books I must read by September 4th, so I probably won’t start my spin pick until then.
All Quiet on the Western Front is one of my favorite books. And Invisible Man is great as well. Good luck with your spin!
Great mix of books on your list! I have Hunchback and Return of the Native on my list as well!! From the rest of your list, I think The Awakening is my favorite. I hope you get a good pick!
Those are all fabulous! (OK, I’m not a Cooper fan. So not that one.) Excited to see how this goes, I love Spins.
I’ve read Little Women, Mill on the Floss and A Passage to India. All very different, but very satisfying reads.
We share Dorian Grey this spin:-)
Ooo, I love Chesterton and I haven’t read that one yet. The Aeneid is wonderful but it might be one that you’re dreading ……? In any case, I hope you have a wonderful spin!
oh good…a shortsh one. Lord of the Flies.
