100 Best Books of the 21st Century (Non Pretentious Version)

We've seen a lot of these lists recently and this is my version. You will see that these picks are not very "high brow" because I mainly read for enjoyment and I don't think that makes books any less valuable. I also focused a lot on genre fiction because I feel like those are often under appreciated by lists like these.
My limits were max 2 books per author and only 1 book in a series. I also read every book on this list.
