The Bibliophile's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century: A Response to the NYT

As many of you are no doubt aware (despite the breaking news this weekend), the NYT published a list of what it considers to be the 100 best books so far of the 21st century. This list is MY version, so the 100 best books published so far this century in my opinion. I agree with them regarding many books, but diverge in relation to others. Just FYI - my list is not ranked.
