Mr. Dickens thinking about the vagaries of chance...
It's time for a new spin list! The rules are here; the target completion date is January 3rd next year. Since our holiday season involves more socializing, but no travel these days, I'm not particularly thinking about book length. So straight to the list of books!
1.) Andrei Bely/Petersburg
2.) Apollonius Rhodius/Argonautica
3.) Luis Vaz de Camoes/The Lusiads
4.) Willa Cather/Lucy Gayheart
5.) Nezami Ganjavi/Layli and Majnun
6.) Elizabeth Gaskell/Wives and Daughters
7.) Nikos Kazantzakis/Odyssey: A Modern Sequel
8.) Diogenes Laertius/Lives of the Ancient Philosophers
9.) Halldor Laxness/Salka Valka
10.) Sinclair Lewis/Elmer Gantry
11.) Joachim Machado de Assis/Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas
12.) Benito Perez Galdos/That Bringas Woman
13.) John Ruskin/Unto This Last
14.) Lucan/The Civil War
15.) Walter Pater/Imaginary Portraits
16.) Harry Mark Petrakis/A Dream of Kings
17.) Leslie Marmon Silko/Ceremony
18.) Edgar Wallace/The Four Just Men
19.) Robert Walser/Jakob von Gunten
20.) Eudora Welty/Delta Wedding
The Kazantakis and the Diogenes Laertius are likely the challenging entries on that list, though lately for me the challenge with the spin has not been to read the book, but to write the post.
Are you spinning? Which look good to you?
