Right having walked to and from the shop for some food and having eaten breakfast i am currently going through the 465 books i have on Goodreads to see what gaps i have.

Yes it's on a spreadsheet ;)

I'll report back when done.

I'm hoping i cover quite a lot of the years. I suspect it's the ones from nearer my birth that will be missing.

Bit of gooling etc and thats them done too.

1978 was The Stand, 1981 was George's marvellous medicine as i know damn well i read that as a kid, 1990 was er Jurassic Park.

Technically got this year to do but thats a triviality as there are several books on my pre order list.

You can use wikipedia like this

en.wikipedia.org

Gives you a good idea, can also search for authors and do it that way too.

Mine would have been harder if i wasn't reading Brit Horror when at school hence the Hutson and Herbert on my list
