1981-1990: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry / 1986
1991-2000: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin / 1996

Pretty hard to pick just one in each time span and for me it can change depending on when you ask. For example if not The Right Stuff I could just as easily say The Killer Angels or The Princess Bride or Roots or Shogun or The Thorn Birds or many others for the 1971-1980 span alone.
Isn't The Right Stuff a non-fiction title anyway?
