I am so glad you posted about this! I am so terribly behind on every blog I read (not to mention my own) that I would have missed the Classics Club post! Which one are you hoping to get?
I just happened to look at the Classics Club yesterday to post a book I had read. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known either! It is so much harder to remember to look them up in my reader or from my bookmarks than it was when I was getting the emails. I think I’m hoping for Red Pottage or Greenbanks. Are you going to participate?
So many wonderful books on your list! I don’t even know what I would hope for, though I have a soft spot for Don Quixote.
I have read some of them, but Don Quixote is one I have not read. I know the story, of course, but don’t know what to expect from the book. I’m glad to hear that you like it.
Frost’s Poems are a perfect read for winter. Ada is on my spin list too. Good luck for monday.
You, too!
Another vote for Frost’s poems! And the Vicar of Wakefield was a fun read. I read The Idiot this year; I enjoyed it but wish I had more time to mull over some of its aspects as I was left feeling that I wasn’t sure if I “got it”
Best of luck with your spin on Monday!
I think that can be very true of Russian novels. I read it before, but I think I was only about 12 when I did, and I’m sure I didn’t get it then!
Some fabulous books in your list.
He’s not on my CC 5 yr list, but I’m exploring Frost this year too as my eldest son is studying him for his HSC.
I’ll be watching out for your posts & discussions to help me get inspired (to inspire him!)
🙂
I hope my comments are helpful!
Hallo, Hallo! 🙂
I am participating in my first tCC SPIN — the titles you’ve picked out of which I’d love to read myself are as follows:
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Selected Poems by Robert Frost
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
I actually put Rebecca on my SPIN list too! Isn’t that interesting!? I shared a book with Lost Generation Reader as well! We both picked a book by Anne Bronte! I fell in love with wanting to read both The Remains of the Day & Howard’s End after seeing both films years ago. Recently I caught The Remains of the Day on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and I must admit, it did not end quite the way I was expecting it too! Previously the tape I borrowed from the library had expired right as the bus scene happened; I apparently painted in a better ending in my mind! lol Still keen to read the novels!
Wilkie Collins interests me, but Rebecca simply has left me deeply curious about the story itself as I want to read books either based on this one and/or are re-told or re-imagined. 🙂
Some of my books are re-reads, and Rebecca is an old favorite of mine. You should try it!
Interesting list! Quite a few titles & authors I haven’t heard of before 🙂
It’s Monday, and I’m just about to peek and see what the book is!
