~ THE
CLASSICS SPIN ~
The Classics Club got another challenge it's called "The Classics Spin" - the idea is to tackle our-fear on several readings that had been on
the pile too long, and this is just for fun but also can be another 'excuses'
or I can said it as the kick-off to remind our self on our progress in reading
challenge. How about the rules ? It's quite simple, just follow this
instruction below : [ or you can check on the main post
in HERE ]
It's the second Classics Spin that will be held from May - June 2013. Since my first attempt did not works as the schedule, I would like to try it again, and hopefully this time it will be finished before the end of June.
- Go to your blog.
- Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read
from your Classics Club List.
- Try to challenge yourself: list five you are
dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are
neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients —
whatever you choose.)
- Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog by
next Monday (on May 20.2013)
- Monday morning, we’ll announce a number from
1-20. Go to the list of twenty books you posted, and select the book that
corresponds to the number we announce.
- The challenge is to read that book by July 1,
even if it’s an icky one you dread reading! (No fair not listing any scary
ones!)

Best Regards,
Some great choices there. A few of them are on my classics list as well. I tried reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame last year, but had to give up in the end. I just couldn't get going with it. I just read The Secret Garden and it was a very pleasant read. It'll be interesting to see which book you end up having to read. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier and happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I wish the same happy time for your reading too, good luck with the spin next monday !!
DeleteA Tree Grows in Broklynn is in my spin list too. Terre Des Homes and Jane Eyre is in my list for next year.
ReplyDeleteJust curious...which version of Phantom of Opera will you read? Indonesian/English?
That's depends on how much time I can spare to read it :D
DeleteBut first I will read the translation edition, then if 'father-of-time' have mercy on me, I would like to read the unbridged English version too.
The Picture of Dorian Gray and Les Miserables are two of my favorites! Peter Pan and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are also great, as is the Diary of Anne Frank. And Jane Eyre needs no words. Dracula was not what I was expecting, but I loved it! Good luck with the SPIN - Hope you get a good #!
