The Classics Spin #2 is here! Just like the previous Classics Spin, the idea is to make a list of 20 unread books from our own lists for The Classics Club. Then by Monday May 20, The Classics Club will post a number from 1 to 20 and every participant should read a book that corresponds to the said number by July 1. Below is my list:
- Romeo and Juliet – William Shakespeare ***
- The Divine Comedy #1: Inferno – Dante Alighieri ***
- Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka *
- Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen **
- The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde **
- An Ideal Husband – Oscar Wilde *
- The Canterville Ghost – Oscar Wilde *
- Swiss Family Robinson – Johann David Wyss *
- Uncle Tom’s Cabin – Harriet Beecher Stowe ***
- The Yearling – Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings *
- The Painted Veil – W. Somerset Maugham *
- The Pilgrim’s Progress – John Bunyan ***
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain *
- The Death of Ivan Ilych – Leo Tolstoy *
- Animal Farm – George Orwell **
- Around the World in Eighty Days – Jules Verne *
- Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ – Lew Wallace ***
- The Diary of A Young Girl – Anne Frank **
- Charlotte’s Web – E.B. White **
- Matilda – Roald Dahl **
* on my reading list this year
** can’t wait to read
*** somehow intimidated to read it

Three Oscar Wildes! We can never get bored of him, eh?
And Uncle Tom’s Cabin is appearing here again, I wish you can read it soon, it’s rather tedious in midway, but in the end it’s really worth!

Yep, The Importance of Being Earnest made me fall in love all over again with him, this time with the satirical funny side of Mr Wilde!

I don’t even know what to say about your list. It’s just awesome! Regardless of what number pops-up, you’re going to get a great book.
Inferno, Dorian Gray, Huckleberry Finn, and Animal Farm, in particular, are favorites of mine. Hope you get one of those! 😉
