Okay, it’s time for another book spin over at the Classics Club  (details here) – so far, I’ve done infamously with these only completing one!  Time to buck up!!  I’ve chosen 20 from my list and they’re all fairly easy or ones that I really want to read – I realise that’s semi-cheating but I’m determined to do this thing!!!!!

So, to my twenty:

1. Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome
2. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
3. The BFG by Roald Dahl
4. White Fang by Jack London
5. Waverley by Sir Walter Scott
6. The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde
7. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
8. Stir of Echoes by Richard Matheson
9. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
10. Whiskey Galore by Compton MacKenzie
11. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
12. Legend by David Gemmell
13. Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel

20. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James

Results on Monday!  Rather hoping to get Twelfth Night so fingers crossed!

So, I’ve been a total slacker with my Classics Club 50 list recently.  In fact I’ve only read two so far.  I’m not worried though – I know I can pull this off.  I’m definitely one of those people who enjoys the pressure of a looming deadline.  Anyway, the Classics Club have come up with another classic spin for August.  In order to take part you need to choose 20 books from your list.  The details are all here.  The Classics Club will then reveal the lucky number and whatsoever that number happens to be is your next book of choice.  Without further ado these are my 20:

1. Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome
2. White Fang by Jack London
3. War of the Worlds by H G Wells
4. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey
5. Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
6. Whiskey Galore by Compton MacKenzie
7. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
8. Legend by David Gemmell
9. The Quiet American by Graham Greene
10. Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
11. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
12. Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
13. Waverley by Sir Walter Scott
14. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
15. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
16. A Room with a View by E M Forster
17. Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
18. Let the Right one in by John Ajvide Lindqvist
19. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
20. Stir of Echoes by Richard Matheson

I chose 10 numbers at random and asked my other half to choose 10.  The above are the results.  I would really love to read 5/17 or 20.  Lets see what comes up!

For those of you who aren’t taking part in the Classics Club but have an extremely daunting pile of TBR books (and you know who you are) – why not choose twenty, list them and then when the number comes up that’s your next choice.  See, always coming up with good ideas, that’s me!  This way you help your TBR topple campaign.  Your book is chosen and your deadline is set!  Bingo….
