The Classic Club is doing one of their Classics Spins, this will be my first one. The push is to help me complete books on my Classic Club 50 in 5 list.
Guidelines are easy, post a list of twenty books left to read from your master list, number them from 1-20. On Monday, February 10th a number will be posted. Read the book found on your list for that number by April 2nd.
Being that I have read none from my list yet (I just started) and it was originally ordered by year I stuck the books in a Randomizer and took the first twenty.
