I've just completed another decade, with Octavia Butler's powerful Kindred. Another of those books, like Flowers for Algernon, where I felt I knew how it was going to go from just knowing the bare idea, but there was a lot more to the telling of it.

I think my book of the decade is between that and The Wind's Twelve Quarters by Ursula K Le Guin.

Onwards to the 80s, where the books get longer, and I'm more likely to have read the good ones.
