Your requirements for the category sound a little different then what I was expecting, could I get a little clarification?

I was thinking of nominating The English Patient. I've been meaning to read it, and it appears to be set in a specific time period which seems relavent to the plot? It was published in 1992, so I'll assume it was written around 1990. (the story actually takes place towards the end of WWII). So I should vote for 1981-2000?

I'm thinking I should skip the nomination phase, as I'm not qualified to judge what is a good example of "Time Period" literature.

Thanks.
