Another Challenge...

Why not? This one looks fun and I can cross-list several of the books from the A-Z Challenge. This one is the Decades '08 Challenge and the rules are fairly simple. You must read at least 8 books from consecutive decades, with the one restriction being that books from the 2000's don't count. With that in mind, here is my tentative list.

1810's- Persuasion by Jane Austen
1820's- Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
1830's- The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
1840's- The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
1850's- Phantastes by George MacDonald
1860's- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
1870's- Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
1880's- The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
1890's- The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
1900's- The Enchanted Castle by Edith Nesbit
1910's- Manalive by G.K. Chesterton
1920's- Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers
1930's- Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
1940's- Perelandra by C.S. Lewis
1950's- Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis
1960's- Mila 18 by Leon Uris
1970's- The Princess Bride by William Goldman
1980's- So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane
1990's- A Wizard Abroad by Diane Duane

All of this may change and the 1840's and earlier may get scrubbed by the end of the year but this is what I am looking at doing for now.
