I’m a little late on this one but here it is.  Another chance to choose from my  Classics Club list .  

1. Go to your blog.
2. Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club list.
3. Post that list, numbered 1 – 20, on your blog by Sunday.
4. Sunday morning, the Classics Club will announce a number from 1 – 20.  Go to the list of twenty books you posted and select the book that corresponds to the number they announce.
5. The challenge is to read the book by August 24, 2025

I used the random list organizer here to choose the 20 books from my master list. Here is my spin list:

7. La Faute de l’Abbé Mouret (1875) – Emile Zola
8. Meditations (170-180) – Marcus Aurelius
9. The Silver Chalice (1952) – Thomas Costain
10. The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) – Sigmund Freud
11. Huckleberry Finn (1884) – Mark Twain
12. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch (1962) – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
13. If On A Winter’s Night A Traveler (1979) – Italo Calvino
14. Au Bonheur des Dames (1883) – Emile Zola
15. Wives and Daughters (1864/66) – Elizabeth Gaskell
16. Philoctetes (409 B.C.) – Sophocles

18. That Hideous Strength (1945) – C.S. Lewis
19. Ajax (445-440 B.C.) – Sophocles
20. Pensées (1669) – Blaise Pascal

As with previous Spins, instead of producing a new post, I’m going to simply announce the winner below and, to make it easier to complete at least one book, I’m going to choose a book from my Guardians List, my Shakespeare Projectand my Children’s Classics Project, with no deadline date, just a dedication to read at least one of them by the deadline.

And the winning number was 11 !  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (or Samuel Clemens, if you prefer) is the winner.  I must say, I’m really looking forward to this one!

See my other options below:

Classics Club Winner:  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Guardians Book List Winner:  The Great Impression

Shakespeare Winner: Julius Caesar (yay!)

Children’s List Winner:  Death of the Gods
