New York Times 100 Best Books of the Century (So Far)

The New York Times has just released its list of what they claim to be the 100 best books of the 21st century (so far). I thought I'd have a gander and I was a bit disappointed, but I do think the list was decent enough and had a pretty good representation of backgrounds. Perhaps a few too many short story collections? I saw a few people on YouTube comment that they had been chosen to help compile this list. There were some interesting videos about it in the run up to it! One book I had recommended to me via these videos was This Is How You Lose the Time War, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, which I am definitely enjoying. My personal number one pick of the century so far is The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, and its two sequels. I did enjoy the prequel as well and I'm excited for the Haymitch-centric prequel coming out next year.


Here are my results from the NYT article:



What did you think of the article? Did you agree or disagree with it? I'm sure most of you have read more books on the list than I have! What are some of the books you want to read? Let me know in the comments.
