I'm somewhat flexible, but only somewhat.
Look Homeward, Angel, for example, suggested above, was published in 1929, close enough to my century restriction. I'm not looking for modern, popular fiction, but classics.
FWIW, if anyone cares, my thought process was triggered by all those lists you see that ask "how many of these classics have you read?" If they're really what are considered classics I've generally read many of them, but can I remember anything about them? In many cases, especially if it was one and done decades ago, not really. So do they count? This challenge is not exactly a remedy because I will never reread everything (and some of course I've never read), but it confronts the issue. Or at least that's my intent. I could fail spectacularly.
Thanks for the effort you put into your list.
