Decades Challenge

The Rules:

1. Read a minimum of 8 books in 8 consecutive decades in ‘08.
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.

As not much of 2008 remains, I'm going to make it as easy as possible so I'm taking the 8 most recent eligible decades and including the books I've already read this year as the challenge was supposed to begin at the start of 2008. I've already completed the four most recent decades, so just the early four to go.
