Jamie's Best Books of the 21st Century

Narrowing down this list to only 21 resulted in misery and Moose Tracks. I want to immediately tell you of the reads I left behind, while also declaring that these were the correct choices for me. These all represent reading experiences that either chipped away at me or added to me in meaningful and profound ways. For example, Lisa Kleypas' novel was my introduction to the idea that bodice rippers could also be top notch literary experiences. May the rest of this century of reading be just as superb.
