The Classics Club Spin

I joined the Classics Club to encourage me to read/reread the classics with the fervor that I did before I hit a reading slump several years ago.  I feel it is serving that purpose, as I've already read three since I joined in early July!

One of the fun things the Classics Club does is "the Classics Spin".  Participants list twenty classics off their to-be-read list, and this becomes a "spin list".  On a specified day, the Classics Club facilitators will post a number between one and twenty, and whatever book is listed at that number is the one to be read.  I love a random chance (I would be a gambling addict if I allowed myself to start!) so naturally, I'm in.

Here is my list.  It is comprised of a few rereads, some that I'm not as excited about and several that I am pleasurably anticipating. On Monday, we'll see which number/book gets chosen!
