The chronology of my life via certain novels released, the first decade (1974-1984)

In a little less than a month, I'll be 36 years old, or 127 in internet years.  I thought about my life and the events that have transpired during the course of that span while reading the introduction to the Everyman's Library edition of Franz Kafka's The Castle.  There, events of Kafka's life were compared to political, military, and literary highlights of each year of his life.  I thought it'd be interesting to do so with a list of certain stories released over the course of my life that I have either read and thought were among the best, or lauded works which I hope to read sometime in the near future.
