One Goodreads Reader's Best Books of the Decade, 2010-2017

Someone compiled a list of "Goodreads 100 Best Books Of The Decade" which was almost entirely devoid of literary fiction. I'd like to offer a counterpoint, if not a dissent. Yes, the printed word is doomed, but rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic is more fun than you might imagine.
