Having said that, if we don't have anyone else, I'm quite happy to put forward one book that I'd like to read from each decade of the "Best of the 20th Century" exercise in progress. Not exactly 'out of the box', so if this seems like a pretty unpalatable idea let me know. I have a couple of other themes I could use instead.

Your concept sounds fine to me, with the possible reservation that I'm not sure I would rate all the books on those lists as "literary." But that's just my opinion on the literary cutoff.
