What is the spin?
It’s easy. At your blog, before next Sunday 9th August 2020, create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list.
This is your Spin List. You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period. On Sunday 9th August, the Classics Club will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by 30th September, 2020.

Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man is one of those hidden gems. I ended up loving it so much and I encourage everyone to read it whenever I can 🙂
