My First Reading Challenge

And I’m just thrilled. I was in ‘book mode’ today and ran across this website and thought it would be neat to complete something like this. So, I’m signing up for the Decades Challenge 2008, and here is my list.

1900’s: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

1910’s: Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

1920’s: The Painted Veil by Somerset Maugham

1930’s: The Good Earth by Pearl Buck

1940’s: 1984 by George Orwell

1950’s: The Day of the Triffids by Wyndham

1960’s: Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

1970’s: If on a Winter’s Night, A Traveler by Italo Calvino

1980’s: The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel

1990’s: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

I’m not going to commit to more than 9 books right now what with all the changes we have happening next year. But I’ll certainly add to the list if I’m making good progress. Yippee!
