Very easy to do! Just ask the Internet. You can also specify what genre.

Basic – set a number of books you want to read for the year. Here’s one a bit beyond basic: https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Reading-Challenge-2018-44138581
You can set a challenge for yourself on Goodreads.

Goodreads! Their list section has a search for any keywords you can think of. There is also a Best Of link where you can see lists that users have voted the best books, ranging from century down to year.

Use the Advance Search function of your local library’s catalog and there should be a Publication Date field. Put in the year you were born and then in the Keyword field put in a very common word like “the.” Voila.

Alternatively you could look up lists of award winning books for the year you were born and/or the year after (since many awards are announced at the end of the year or early the next). Pulitzer Prize, Man Booker Prize, National Book Award, Edgar Award, Hugo Award, Newbury Award…

You could also find a very prolific author that you like who was active around the time you were born, look at a list of all of their works, and see what they published that year. Stephen King for example…

Note these are the most popular, but not necessarily the best. Good Luck!
