Now that we only have a few months left of the 2010s if you're not a pedantic Redditor, what have been the best books this decade? Have there been any good books?
For fiction at least I can't think of any big books of this decade in the same way as 2666, Mason & Dixon and unironically Infinite Jest, Blood Meridian and GR. The closest things I can think of are The Pale King (which I don't think counts as 2010s for obvious reasons), My Struggle (started before the 2010s and finished a year into them, but this is probably my best nominee) and Lincoln in the Bardo (I was really stretching although this book is great). I haven't read The Goldfinch but from what I've heard that could maybe be a nominee, but again this is a massive stretch.

There's big gaps in my 2010s reading - e.g. haven't read Lincoln in the Bardo or The Goldfinch yet.

Of the ones I've read, I liked these:
James Salter - All That Is
James Ellroy - Perfidia, This Storm
Javier Marias - The Infatuations
Emilie de Turckheim - Heloise is Bald
Graham Swift - Mothering Sunday
Lawrence Osborne - Only to Sleep
Javier Montes - The Hotel Life
Anthony Quinn - Eureka
Gerald Murnane - A Season on Earth (not really a 2010s book as it it was written in the 1970s, but the second half wasn't published till this decade)

That's published together with Tokyo Drift, but I decided not to include it.
