It's very vague. Ugh. Anyhow, thank you for the congratulations. I think that some of the books I may have read anyway because they were crossover books for other challenges, but not all were initially, and I think that I probably wouldn't have read quite so many of the older books had it not been for this challenge. Definitely not going back to 1902, with the Sherlock Holmes mystery. And maybe not even Morley's book. There were a few others that I selected because of the year they were published as well.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-16366103901130178122007-12-26T21:22:00.000-08:002007-12-26T21:22:00.000-08:00Congratulations on finishing the challenge!

I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this one, but I had only two books left, and so I was determined. :-) It was interesting to see get a feel for writing over the ages. I actually read a few other books that could have qualified at varying points on the time line, and really, that's probably the best way to make any sort of comparison. One book from each decade doesn't provide a whole lot of insight. Still, it was fun and I think I gained something from it in the end.<BR/><BR/>Melody - Thanks! It was a fun challenge--and a real challenge selecting the books!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59493939041528679112007-12-26T02:52:00.000-08:002007-12-26T02:52:00.000-08:00Congrats on completing another exciting challenge,...Congrats on completing another exciting challenge, Wendy!
