The NYT Books section recently released its picks for the Top 100 books of the 21st Century, so far, given that we just hit the quarter-mark.
I was honestly surprised to see that I was in agreement with so many of their picks! Then I read the reader picks and thought… huh, this list is pretty good too.
Then I just needed to make my own. But I don’t read quite as much as the whole books section of the biggest newspaper. So I cut it in half. Here are my top 50. My excuse for every snub is that I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
