I'll play too!
There are just too many good books in each decade to try a select one but here are a couple more.

1941 - 1950 - Animal Farm (George Orwell)

I could just as easily have chosen 1984 but someone else did. On the other hand, Animal Farm remains one of the best analysis of the Bolsheviks and their "Dictatorship of the Proletariat"

1961 - 1970 - The Man in the High Castle (Philip K. Dick)

Certainly one of his best.

I have no problem with Atlas Shrugged. When I read it (I was 19), I thought it was fairly well written and a not bad story. When I read it again later I thought it was Rand channelling Hugo. Not bad but not in the same league as '93 (my favourite Hugo).
