Lithub's Best of the Decade: What Books Will We Still Be Reading in 10 Years?
show list info
"I asked each of my colleagues in the Literary Hub office to make a list of the ten books from the last ten years that they thought we'd still be reading—for good or ill—ten years from now, circa 2030.
The below results collate the responses of 14 people, who range in age and interest as much as possible for a group that works for a literary website. I was not surprised to see Claudia Rankine's Citizen top the list by a wide margin—that's a book that keeps on getting more relevant; one hopes that in ten years we'll be reading it as an artifact, but one also doubts it. Same goes for some of the others on here, though some of course are just very good novels that people will continue to enjoy."
