The Spin Will Be Spun Again!

I liked the Classics Club Spin last time, so I'm joining in again.  I find it encourages me to keep at my classics list and helps me not fall behind. The Spin is spinning for the 3rd time.  It's easy to participate.  All you have to do is list 20 books, make sure they're numbered, and on Monday a number will be randomly generated.  Then you have to (try to) read that book by October 1st.

The Club suggests a way to make the Spin more interesting and challenging, by choosing five books for each of these categories: Hesitant, Excited, Neutral, Free Choice - Re-reads, ancients, favourite authors, etc.  I couldn't really get five for each category.  Primarily because though I'm hesitant and excited about some reads, I'm not really neutral about any of them.  So, I decided to make up my own categories.  For my Classics Club list, I didn't choose all novels.  I have a lot of different types of classics, plays, poetry, children's books, etc.  I made up four of my own categories and then chose five titles for each.  Here are my 20 books below.

1. Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood

2. Animal Farm, by George Orwell

3. Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut

4. The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton

5. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, by Anne Brontë

11. Lyrical Ballads, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge & William Wordsworth

12. Lady Lazarus, by Sylvia Plath

13. Queen Mab, by Percy Bysshe Shelley

14. Cyrano de Bergerac, by Edmund Rostand

15. Macbeth, by William Shakespeare

Children’s / Young Adult / Juvenilia

16. Tales of Angria, by Charlotte Brontë

17. Grimm's Fairy Stories, by Jacob Grimm & Wilhelm Grimm

18. The Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum

19. The Cat In The Hat, by Dr. Seuss

20. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter

That's my spin list!  Honestly, I'd be excited to read any of these options, though I'm also hesitant about a few of them.  There's only on re-read on the entire list!  I did not do that on purpose.  I chose each title based on category.  There are some very short options and other very long ones that might be a challenge to read by October 1st.  We'll see what number comes up.
