This challenge sounds overwhelming to me, probably because I am so not good at reading older books!
Good luck!
I'm not sure I have the time to read 100 books in a year, let alone 113, but I like the idea. I'm going to see whether I have completed this challenge retroactively. I bet that in my entire reading career there are still years in the 20th century that are unrepresented in my reading.
Ryan, I don't see any time limit imposed on us, so I'm not trying to complete this challenge in one year. I know I'll read more than a hundred books this year, but a big portion of them will be from THIS century. I am not greatly interested in books from the early twentieth century, so I know it will take me a long time to fill in all the years. I may never finish, but I think it will be interesting to see how many I happen across.
