Your Lucky Spin Number Is…

~ The Classics Club

If you joined the game last week, find number 2 on your CC Spin #35 List! That’s the CLASSIC you are challenged to read by 3rd December 2023. 

We know it can be hard to stay on track and enthused about your Spin Book for the whole journey. We plan to provide support and encouragement to all our CC Spinners via twitter, fb, instagram and goodreads. We hope you can join us in cheering everyone on to finish another fabulous classics reading experience!

If you’re struggling with your book, let us know. We’ll do everything we can to help you through. Perhaps one of your new moderators has read it, or we can link you up with another Classics Clubber who has.

As always, the prize is the reading experience. 

What’s Next?

Tell us below what your number 2 title is:

  • Are you feeling thrilled, hesitant or ‘meh’ about your title?
  • Check out our ‘Reviews By Members’ page for other Classic Clubbers who may have read your book recently. They may be able to help you if you hit a speedhump in your reading.
  • Cheer on your fellow Clubbers.
  • Take a pic of your book and pop it on Instagram or twitter.
  • If you can — it would be fabulous if everyone posted about their Spin book by the 3rd December.
  • Then check back here to share your experience and add your review to our ‘Reviews By Members’ page.

    1. I’ve often wondered how this book would hold up to a reread.

      It felt like it captured an important moment in time but I wonder if our understanding and knowledge of Indigenous literature and memoir has evolved since 1987? The various debates that came afterwards would influence any reread I might attempt as well as the failed referendum sitting heavily over everything I read atm….sigh

      1. I am also wondering how My Place will have aged. This book was eye-opening for me the first time around. My strongest memory is of the author believing she was of Indian descent and the sense of shame I felt for everyone involved in that lie, not just for her family and other Aboriginal people but also for me reading the story and for Australia’s shame in that having been anyone’s experience.
        I expect the referendum will be on my mind while I’m reading My Place this time. I think we are lucky to have a political system that works, but it is hard to reconcile that with not necessarily being a fair system.

  12. I got The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck and I’m totally alright with that. Since I’m currently reading R.I.P. fare, I’ll start it in November. I’m looking forward to it!
