Decades '09 Challenge book list


I'm definitely signing up for this challenge and I already have my books picked out. The basic rules are:

1. Read a minimum of 9 books in 9 consecutive decades in ‘09.

2. Books published in the 2000’s do not count.

3. Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge.

4. You may change your list at any time.

I've decided to go for older books and most will be cross-posted to other challenges. My list consists of:


The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe (1839) -- completed 1/24/09; review here

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (1847) -- completed 4/29/09; review here
