The latest Classics Club Spin has been announced. To join in, I choose twenty unread books from my classics list and list them in a post before Sunday, February 8th, 2026. On Sunday, the Classics Club will generate a random number between 1 through 20 and post it at the website. Then I will read whatever book falls under that number on my Spin List by March 29th, 2026.
So, here is my list of 20 books for the spin...
- Patricia Highsmith – The Talented Mr.Ripley (1955)
- Madeleine L'Engle – A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
- Graham Greene – Our Man in Havana (1958)
- Roald Dahl – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964)
- Ray Bradbury – The Martian Chronicles (1950)
- Ray Bradbury – Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
- Robert Louis Stevenson – The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886)
- Kurt Vonnegut – Slaughterhouse-Five (1955)
- John Steinbeck – Cannery Row (1945)
- Mary Shelley – Frankenstein (1818)
- Oscar Wilde – The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890)
- J. D. Salinger – Catcher in the Rye (1951)
- Chinua Achebe – Things Fall Apart (1958)
- Lewis Carroll – Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)
- Dashiell Hammett – Red Harvest (1929)
- Charlotte Bronte – Jane Eyre (1847)
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – The Sign of the Four (1892)
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902)
- Edna Ferber – Giant (1952)
- Edna Ferber – Show Boat (1926)
The four books I would most like to read for this spin are A Wrinkle in Time, The Talented Mr.Ripley, Jane Eyre, or Our Man in Havana. But, really, any of the books on my list would be fine.

When I look at this list, I realize I used to read more classic books than I do now. I have read nearly all of these except the Ferbers and the Doyle.
I've read several of these books, but a long time ago. My pick would be Jane Eyre, but we'll see what you get. Maybe Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? LOL
Tracy, I think you should also join the You're Not the Boss of Me Classic Books Challenge, in which -- in addition to title selected -- you also randomly (or not so randomly, whatever floats your boat) select another book from your list and read that one, too.
BTW, none of my selections for my granddaughter's Family Book Club have been selected yet, but I went ahead and read them all anyway.
You have some wonderful books on your list. I hope you'll get one of the Ray Bradburys. I love both of them.
