"By the Decades" Challenge 2007 (Update)

I've made one substitution in order to consolidate some of the reading I'm doing and make a title do double duty. "Triplanetary", written by EE "Doc" Smith and first published in 1942 will take the place of "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas as my choice for the fabulous forties. That way I get to make a notch in the belt of my Classic Sci-Fi New Author Challenge at the same time. That will also put my count for consecutive decades covered at nine. Hip, hip, hooray!

Here's the link to 3M's blog for a detailed explanation of the rules and a list of participants. Completed titles appear in red italics.
