Classics Club Spin #39
Hey it's that time again, my favorite time -- it's Spin time! You know the rules, so here we go:
- No Name, by Wilkie Collins
- Second-Class Citizen, by Buchi Emecheta
- Ring of Bright Water, by Gavin Maxwell
- The Tale of Sinhue (ancient Egyptian poetry)
- Eichmann in Jerusalem, by Hannah Arendt
- Hunger, by Knut Hamsun
- Sybil, by Disraeli
- The Leopard, by di Lampedusa
- Phineas Finn, by Anthony Trollope
- The Obedience of a Christian Man, by William Tyndale
- Sagas of Icelanders (aiming for 50% by the due date)
- The Well at the End of the World, by William Morris
- It is Acceptable (Det Gaar An), C. J. L. Almqvist
- Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana
- Amerika, by Kafka
- Peter the Great's African, by Pushkin
- The Beggar's Opera, by John Gay
- The Nature of Things, by Lucretius
- Polyhistor Solinus
- Lives, by Plutarch (again, aiming for part, not the whole)
I'm still in a mood for ancient British literature, or at least something saga-ish or British, but there's not much like that left on my list, so I've aimed for the neighborhood. Ring of Bright Water is sounding good, or The Well at the End of the World. Anything that will not bring up the election!
The end date for this Spin is the 18th of December!
I thought both No Name & The Leopard were awfully good, but neither of them is exactly saga-ish.
