Best of the Millennium, Pros Versus Readers

To quote the greatestbooks.org: "A poll of The Millions contributors and 48 of their favourite writers, editors, and critics, asking a single question: 'What are the best books of fiction of the millennium... so far?' The results were robust, diverse, and surprising."
The books are from the first decade of the new millennium and each sub-list is in descending rank order. A bonus point if you have read a book appearing in both lists.
01-20: The Pros
21-40: The Readers
