Decades 08 Challenge – COMPLETE

While I never offiicially joined the 2008 Decades Challenge, I kept track on my own, not thinking I would actually make it.

The goal was to read 8 books in 8 consecutive decades, published before 2000.

Here’s my list:

• 1830s – Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe (part of Eight Tales of Terror)
• 1840s – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
• 1850s – Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
• 1860s – Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
• 1870s – Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
• 1880s – Treasure Island by Robert Louise Stevenson
• 1890s – War of the Worlds by HG Wells
• 1900s – Wonder Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
