The Classics Spin #12

It’s time for The Classics Spin #12.

Here are the directions:

At your blog, by next Monday, March 7, list your choice of any twenty books you’ve left to read from your Classics Club list — in a separate post.

Next Monday, we’ll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List, by May 2, 2016.

Here’s my list, awaiting the announcement of the lucky number:

1. Adams, Richard. Watership Down
2. Masters, Edgar Lee. Spoon River Anthology (1915)
3. Agee, James. A Death in the Family
4. Steinbeck, John. Of Mice and Men
5. Cather, Willa. O Pioneers!
6. Smith, Dodie. I Capture the Castle (1948)
7. Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Crime and Punishment
8. Koestler, Arthur. Darkness at Noon
9. Fowles, John. The French Lieutenant’s Woman
10. Tarkington, Booth. The Magnificent Ambersons
11. Styron, William. Darkness Visible (1990)
12. Hardy, Thomas. Far From the Madding Crowd
13. Burns, Olive. Cold Sassy Tree
14. O’Neill, Eugene. The Iceman Cometh
15. James, Henry. The Beast in the Jungle
16. Pym, Barbara. Excellent Women
17. Lewis, Sinclair. Babbit
18. Woolf, Virginia. Mrs. Dalloway
19. Wilson, Sloan. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1955)
20. Nabokov, Vladimir. Pnin

Update

The lucky number is 8! So I’ll be reading Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler by May 2. Fortunately, it’s relatively short.
