I don't know what it is about the Classics Club Spin that attracts me. I think I like the encouragement it gives to keep up with my classic reading. To be honest, though, I didn't read my last spin book. I just wasn't feeling the book at the time and I didn't want to force myself to read it, because I knew then I wouldn't enjoy it. I've decided to seperate my list again the way I did last time, with an additional category at the bottom. I guess I really like doing things my own way. I'm also hoping I'll actually read the selection on this spin's list. We'll find out what book on February 10th and hopefully I'll have it read by April 2nd!

You have a very eclectic list! Grimm's Fairy Tales sounds very appealing and I've recently read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall which was very good. You've introduced me to a Brontë book that I've never heard of: Tales of Angria. I must go look it up!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read my last spin book yet either, but I do have it scheduled for the end of this month, so I know that I'll get to it. I hope you have a great Spin!
I don't know when I'll read the my last spin book. Eventually.
DeleteI'd be excited to get Tales of Angria and WildFell Hall.
I read Death of a Salesman way back in Uni; quite fascinating. No spoilers so wishing you good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to get Death of a Salesman. I've had it forever, but just haven't read it.
DeleteI like how you've structured this list. Middlemarch is on my list, too. Good luck Monday!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting how you added poetry, perhaps I should revise my list now. Animal Farm is my favorite on your list so hopefully you get that one. Happy reading and good luck!
