Listless Monday, Roaring Twenties Edition

Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature.  Be sure to check out their lists!

I've decided to do a little series of flashbacks to previous decades.  I probably will only do three decades right now, but maybe more later.  I'm going for the twenties this week (1920s, that is).  I've divided this list into books published during the 20s, nonfiction about the 20s, and historical fiction about the 20s. 

Books Published in the 1920s:

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Remarque
Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis (suggested by Andie)
