The Classics Spin #17

This is my first Classics Club Spin. The reason I'm joining in this time is that I'm feeling guilty at neglecting my Classics Club list. This is a great incentive for me to read a classic over the next two months.

The rules for the spin are simple.

Make a list of twenty books that remain to be read on your Classics Club list. As a suggestion, your list can contain five
books you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can't wait to read, five you are neutral about and five free choice (favourite author, re-reads,ancients etc.)

Before Friday, March 9th, post the list, numbered one to twenty, on your blog. When the number is announced on Friday, March 9th, go to your list and select the book that corresponds to that number. Read that book by April 30, 2018.

See, it's that easy.
