6.20 Future and Freedom in the 1970s The Community Library

- Arts
Last year, I embarked on a challenge to read a book published in every single year of the 20th Century. When I catalogued all the books from the 20th Century I’d already read, I found the 1970s to be the decade from which I had read the least. In this episode, I take you through my journey of reading books published in 1970, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1978.

Books I read to complete the challenge:
1978: Tirra Lirra by the River by Jessica Anderson
1974: Oreo by Fran Ross
1973: Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown
1976: Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy
1970: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
