Wow! You've got some BIG chuncksters on your list , although the only one I've read is East of eden - my all time fav Steinbeck.
ReplyDeleteGood luck
Oh, you read Adam Bede. I haven't known of another blogger I follow reading that (most haven't read any of George Eliot's works), did you write about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Even though its hard to like the subject matter or many of the characters, I found it absorbing.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I really enjoyed The Way We Live Now, and The 39 Steps is nice and short, so you'd be able to fit it in easily. But Lark Rise to Candleford would be a lovely heart-warming relaxing read. Whatever you get I hope you enjoy it, and good luck with the impending new arrival!
ReplyDeleteI wish you Don Quijote, we have Fathers and Sons in common. And last, I'm holding a book club in July for East of Eden. Good luck, (and I'm coming back also for ideas on titles that have aroused my curiosity.)
ReplyDeleteAs a John Buchan fan, I'd have to go for The 39 Steps (I have his Greenmantle on my list) but I'd also be happy with Kim which I read as part of my Open University course and was actually pleasantly surprised at. Hope you enjoy whatever is selected.

You've got a lot of good books on your list! I didn't do the spin this time, because I somehow amazingly only have three books left on my Classics Club list. Now I just have to finish them before my little one arrives in June. It's amazing how much motivation a baby gives, isn't it? :)
