I started the Classics Club’s challenge last September and it has been going… meh. With everything going on right now I’ve just put the list on the back burner. I still have a half written review of Carmilla that’s been collecting figurative dust for a month.
For me this is a great time for a CC Spin! I need a jump start and this is it. For those confused, the Spin is a game where I list 20 books from my challenge list and on April 19th I’m given a number. I have to read and review the book that correlates to that number by June 1st.
I’ll check back on Monday to let everyone know what I got!
1 A Cantide for Leibowitz – Walter M. Miller Jr
2 The Dispossessed – Ursula K. LeGuin
3 Dune – Frank Herbert
4 The Haunting of Hill House – Shirley Jackson
5 The Hobbit – J. R. R. Tolkien
6 Howl’s Moving Castle – Diana Wynne Jones
7 The Last Unicorn – Peter S. Beagle
8 Mysteries of Udolpho – Ann Radcliffe
9 The Neverending Story – Michael Ende
10 Northanger Abbey – Jane Austen
11 Peter Pan – J.M. Barrie
12 The Princess and the Goblin – George MacDonald
13 The Princess Bride – William Goldman
14 Stranger in a Strangerland – Robert A. Heinlein
15 The Time Machine – H. G. Wells
16 The Turn of the Screw – Henry James
17 When Worlds Collide – Edwin Balmer & Philip Wylie
18 The Wizard of Earthsea – Ursula K. Le Guin
19 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – L. Frank Baum
20 The Yellow Wallpaper – Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I love Dune…nice list. Enjoy!

That is one I’m really hoping to get in my spin. I definitely want to read before the movie comes out.

I am fairly certain I haven’t read as much Sci-Fi as you, but IMO Dune is the Gold Standard. Herbert did for Sci-Fi-Fi, what Tolkien did for fantasy. I’m looking forward to the movie (wouldn’t want to see it before reading it…I get that). The previous version was so horrible, it was almost entertaining…almost.

Oh my, I just LOVED Canticle for Leibowitz!!! It’s just amazing. And you can’t go wrong with Ursula LeGuin. Have a great spin!

Canticle seems to be lesser known so I’m glad to hear that someone loved it! ❤

You have so many great books on your list: “The Neverending Story”, “The Wizard of Earthsea”, “The Princess Bride”, “The Hobbit”. I’d be interested in your thoughts on “The Last Unicorn”. I’ve heard great things, but I haven’t read it.

Thank you! The Last Unicorn is on my TBR for the year, so one of the five I’m hoping this spin lands on. Crossing fingers!
