Hmmm interesting idea for when you’re bored over the holidays …

Might give this a go myself over Christmas (if I can think of 50 books that is).

And you can’t have any books published in the last 10 years either, this could be tricky. I have a feeling my list may not be very highbrow! Perhaps I could start it now and add a few every year?
