It's no problem as long as you let me know at the end in your final wrap-up which books go in each category. And I LOVE Three Men in a Boat, excellent choice!

Ya see it's like this, I ummm....well it was an innocent mistake, but I cheated a little. I had USA by John Dos Passos for my 19th Century Classic and it isn't even close - don't know what I was thinking. I've replaced it with The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens. Then I had Deliverance as my Travel Classic, but it is a bit less than 50 years old. Thanks (grrr!!!) to Jane for pointing this out. Just kidding, truly thanks. I'd have been wracked with guilt. I've replaced it with Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome.
