Very, very good idea!!

1940s Brideshead Revisited> (This was a selection for Knit the Classics)
1990s The Biographer's Tale
Brilliant! Here are mine so far:
1840s Martin Chuzzlewit
1860s The Woman in White
1890s Tess of the D'Urbervilles
1910s A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man
1940s Embers
1980s A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters
1990s The English Patient
2000s The Namesake
We've all been doing a lot of these. Excellent so far - I've really enjoyed all of mine.

I have completed two more:

1930sThe Maltese Falcon
That gives me 9books/9decades. I'm going to take a break for a while (a few other challenges are beckoning) but if I go back three more decades -1910s, 1900s,and 1890s, I can meet up with DrJekyll and Mr Hyde of the 1880s that I read for the Classics Challenge, and Jane Eyre is calling me back even further, perhaps. Keep up the good work everyone.
I didn't like this one...
