I should do one of these classic club lists one day, this looks pretty heavy though – although I loved the Crucible!

The Classics Club lets you pick your own list and the amount and the time frame for reading within certain parameters, it’s a really cool for people to be inspired to read classics. I’m just usually ridiculously ambitious for my reading ability, hence my inability to finish my lists thus far. For the spins, I’ve been putting on a lot of plays and less of the long ones.

I hope you get #4 & choose A Portrait of a Lady. x
Livia Rose
That is one I was more curious about. It’s also short I think? I feel like I had a couple I hoped might get more than others.

I have the modern Library Edition, and it’s 565 pages. So probably about as long as Jane Eyre.
Livia Rose
Ah, that is a bit long for a spin for me, but we’ll see.
Jillian
Oh, I didn’t think of that. 🙂

That’s quite a list. I’ve attempted Dracula a few times, I really need to finish it.
Livia Rose
That is the story of me and a lot of novels. Or I’ll order them multiple time from the library and then read other books instead. Tom Hiddleston voices the main character in a bbc radio drama of Dracula, and that gave me more interest in it although it hasn’t caused me to read it yet.
