Centuries Challenge

Centuries Reading Challenge
Host: Becky of Becky’s Book Reviews
Length: All of 2009 (finish at your own pace)
Required Books: 4 to 6

Your challenge–if you choose to accept it–is to read four (to six) books from four different centuries. (If you choose to read six books altogether, then you can double up on centuries if you like. You can always read more than six. But you’re not obligated to in any way.)

The centuries do not need to be consecutive (like the decades challenge).

Books can be fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short stories, essays, plays, etc. Books do not have to be a required length. (Though I ask that poetry and short stories be within a larger collection. For example, a book of short stories as opposed to one solitary short story.)

Overlaps with other challenges are fine.

Audio books are welcome. E-books are welcome as well.
