GQ's 21 Books From the 21st Century Every Man Should Read

We spent months chiseling down a list of not just our favorite books from the 2000s but also the works of fiction that we most readily recommend to our fathers, brothers, and non-blood-related bros. This list isn't ranked. NB it was published in 2013, so see the more recent GQ list I published which they published just last month.
