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, November 15th, 2026. On Sunday, the Classics Club will generate a random number between 1 through 20 and post it at the Classics Club website. Then I will read whatever book falls under that number on my Spin List by January 3rd, 2027.
So, here is my list of 20 books for the spin...
- Patricia Highsmith – The Talented Mr.Ripley (1955)
- Graham Greene – Our Man in Havana (1958)
- Edna Ferber – Giant (1952)
- Edna Ferber – Show Boat (1926)
- Virginia Woolf – Flush (1933)
- Roald Dahl – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964)
- Ray Bradbury – The Martian Chronicles (1950)
- Ray Bradbury – Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
- Charlotte Bronte – Jane Eyre (1847)
- Kurt Vonnegut – Slaughterhouse-Five (1955)
- John Steinbeck – Cannery Row (1945)
- Oscar Wilde – The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890)
- J. D. Salinger – Catcher in the Rye (1951)
- Chinua Achebe – Things Fall Apart (1958)
- Dashiell Hammett – Red Harvest (1929)
- Dorothy Sayers – The Nine Tailors (1934)
- Lewis Carroll – Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)
- James Thurber – The 13 Clocks (1950)
- Albert Camus – The Stranger (1942)
- Ford Madox Ford – The Good Soldier (1915)
The three books I would most like to read for this spin are Jane Eyre, The Talented Mr.Ripley, or Our Man in Havana.

I wonder what you'll think of The Nine Tailors if you get that one, Tracy. I thought it had a lot to offer. You have some great Bradbury titles there, too. I remember the impact Fahrenheit 451 had on me w hen I first read it. And I used to teach Things Fall Apart. That book raises some real issues. At any rate, whichever book you get, I hope you enjoy it.
Margot, The Nine Tailors would actually be perfect for reading in December, because the story starts on New Year's Eve. The story does go on for several months, but still I think it would have a good atmosphere for this time of year.
