A Century of Books

Stuck in a Book is attempting to read a complete century of books this year, which gave me the idea to do similarly. I'm not quite as ambitious - I've filled in the past 100 years as best I can already, and hope to fill in the missing years as I go along. Trying to find novels from the right years should challenge me to expand my literary boundaries a bit. I'm setting myself the limitations of only including fiction, and each author only once (I know I've put Terry Pratchett in twice, but one is co-authored with Stephen Baxter, which counts. Also, Terry Pratchett is lovely and fantastic.)

If anyone has recommendations for years I'm missing, please leave me a comment below!
