You can post your list in advance if you like. Just put your start date and end date, so we will all know when you plan to start reading.

And of course, we will help you with suggestions if you get stuck. : )

Thanks all - as Yz said - its not for the faint of heart - especially when you are my age!!! The journey was interesting - trying to find the older books was fun.

Here is a link to search for the 200 most popular books here at GR for any given year starting with 1911.

It really helped me find authors who published during those earlier years, so I could look up their other books.
