The Best Books of the 21st Century

Looking to catch up on bestsellers and literary luminaries you may have missed? The New York Times has polled 503 novelists, nonfiction writers, poets, critics and other book lovers to find the best books of the 21st century!

Don't agree with their choices? You're not alone. After readers expressed their thoughts on the list, the New York Times invited them to share their own picks to create a reader's picks list!

Did you know? Your Berlin-Peck library card gives you free access to the New York Times using free redeemable codes. Click here to get started. You will need to set up your free New York Times account. Free codes last for three days—when it runs out, just redeem a new code!
