I read it last year when I was doing a somewhat similar challenge (but I also allowed travel books and non-fiction--and then rather wished I hadn't). It surprised me that some of my favorites were contempory detective novels; I think it was because they weren't self-consciously arty or analytical, but very matter of fact about everyday life, as you'd expect.
