5 Star Novels-21st Century - Page 3

Sometimes I feel as though all current literary--and even popular--fiction has become dreary and didactic and hardly worth reading the table of contents. So I looked back at books since 2000 that I've rated 5 stars. There are a lot! Hope you will enjoy a feeling of recognition at a book you also enjoyed, and maybe take a look at one you haven't. Happy reading!
