I'd nominated Lucky Jim (50's) and Crow Road (90's) - neither seem to have made the cut?
Both now added

I noticed The Stranger that Spellbanisher nominated for 1941-1950. Is this the novel by Albert Camus? If so you probably won't need L'Étranger, my nomination for that decade as it's the same book.
Merged.

I don't see my nomination for 1971 - 1980, Chronicle in Stone by Ismail Karate.
Added.

I don’t see any of my nominations.
Somehow I missed transcribing your post. All now added, except for ones already in the lists, and Waiting for Godot. As with The Crucible, I'm not accepting plays. (Nor film scripts, nor radio plays, nor TV shows.) If you'd like to nominate a different work for that decade, please do so.

Somehow I seem to have skipped several pages of the thread. Ah - it was (not their fault) Katsunami's link to their choices. I'll work through the missed pages now.

The master list should now include those I missed first time through the thread.

If there are any nominations missing or in error, please point them out and I'll edit the list some more.

The voters' profile survey over here is now a discussion of the categories we should have in the survey

If the master list is now the one in the first post, no they haven't been!

ETA Crow Road is there, but in the 80's. It should be the 90's.
