It’s time for yet another Classics Club Spin – and although I didn’t finish the last one, I’m going to jump ahead and get myself a new spin book so I don’t have to keep staring at Dracula. I’ve thrown in a couple choices that mean I can read with someone else, but if you see we have a book in common, let me know and I’ll juggle around my list so we can read together, if you like!
Onto the list:
- A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess
- Lolita – Vladimir Nabokov
- Casino Royale – Ian Fleming
- The Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
- The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath
- The Plague – Albert Camus
- Of Mice and Men – John Steinbeck
- White Fang – Jack London
- Last of the Mohicans – James Fenimore Cooper
- The Maltese Falcon – Dashiell Hammett
- The Sound and the Fury – William Faulkner
- Heart of Darkness – Joseph Conrad
- Brave New World – Aldous Huxley
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
- Tristram Shandy – Laurence Sterne
- Journey to the Center of the Earth – Jules Verne
- Night and Day – Virginia Woolf
- A Farewell to Arms – Ernest Hemingway
- Robinson Crusoe – Daniel Defoe
- The Absentee – Maria Edgeworth
Update: I’ll be reading Tristram Shandy.
Ranty Runt of a Reader 
I’ve just finished a book where the character raved about their love for Conrad, which made me realise that I’d really like to read more of his stuff (I’ve only read Lord Jim and watched the movie with Peter O’Toole), surprising myself by how much I loved them, although they were challenging.
Thanks for popping by and letting me know we had some books in common this spin. It’s much nicer reading along with someone else 🙂
I like reading with others more too, I think especially so with the classics!
I’ve read The Secret Agent by Conrad, and it was one of my favourite books of 2015, so I’m excited to read another of his.
I want to read many of the books in your list! It’s great that you put Brace New World in the same number, so that we can do a readalong 🙂
I’m hoping it spins up so we can read together too! I’ve only just found your blog but have really enjoyed looking through some of your posts.
We have no books in common but at least I have read some of the books on your list. I can recommend 4, 5, 7, 13, and 14. I started reading Virginia Woolf last year and I’m interested in Night and Day too. Happy spinning!
Thanks Lory! I’ve read a bit of Woolf and enjoyed her style, so like you I’m looking forward to Night and Day! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Gosh, it’s been years since I’ve read Tristram Shandy. I hope you like it!
I’m a little intimidated by it, tbh. I have a copy and flicked through it and was overwhelmed. I’m sure I’ll get into the swing of it tho!
I remember it as being pretty funny, even though it’s a bit long. If you can get into the writing style, you should be okay.
