Let's talk about 21st century books.

That's a picture of my personal favourite 21st century literature, although some will agree, some won't. What books have you read from the 21st century, and what did you think of them?

What, no Zizek?

I liked Lethem's fortress of solitude and you don't love me yet. I've yet to get to his essays. I also read a couple of Klostermans, but he's more like a comedian for hipsters, so I can't exactly recommend him without calling myself a hipster. I read Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story but it wasn't memorable at all. I want to get Ground Up by Michael Idov.

I guess I read House of Leaves, but I only liked it conceptually and the ergodic parts. The academic satire was meh, the schizo protag was creepypasta-level and the whalestone letters were only ok.

Mason & Dixon one-ups it. Extraordinary novel, though.

Pynchon.
Saramago.
Sebald.
Bolano.

I'm enjoying all the Pynchon love in this thread, even if I consider him more 20th cent. I would say 2666 by Roberto Bolaño is my favorite 21st cent. book.

there's a thread i made a while ago about this that listed like 50 authors and people gave their opinions on them but now it's gone forever because no one wants to host the /lit/ archives
