It’s time for another “classics spin” over at the Classics Club. I had signed up for the first spin here. I was supposed to read Hunger by Knut Hamsun. I started the book and was enjoying it but set it down to read the first three books in the Game of Thrones series. So, Hunger remains on my spin list as well as my classics list.
I will find out which book I am to read on Monday when the spin number is posted…

Adam @ Roof Beam Reader - Oh, your list is excellent! Let’s just make this easy and say, I have loved: The Odyssey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Hobbit, Candide, The End of the Affair, Lolita(!), Faranheit 451(!), Animal Farm, Franny & Zooey(!), and Les Miserables(!).
! means it’s a personal favorite. Also, if you don’t end up with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as your SPIN book, maybe you should join us next month for The Beats of Summer reading event! You’d be able to cross that one off your list.
Most of the others on your list are also on my “to read” list, so I’m excited for you. I think you’ll end up with a great selection, regardless of what # we get. Good luck!
Jen @ Under a Gray Sky - Thanks, Adam. I read Les Miserables, Franny & Zooey, and Animal Farm way back in high school and have decided that they each deserve a re-read. I think I’ll be happy with whichever book is chosen. And I will definitely consider the “The Beats of Summer” group read. Thanks!
Brona - I’ve enjoyed quite a few of your titles – The Odyssey, Hobbit, End of the Affair, Tess, Tale of Two Cities, Middlemarch, Caged Bird and Animal Farm!
We share the Defoe though this time
Good luck
