(1) Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (2000)- The best of the decade imo.

(2) Falling Man by Don DeLillo - besides Underworld, my favorite DeLillo novel.

(3) 2666 by Roberto Bolano - better than Savage Detectives.

(4) Netherland by Joseph O'Neill

(5) Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann

(6) Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

(7) Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem

(8) The Yiddish Policeman's Union by Chabon

(9) Lush Life by Richard Price

(10)Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

I also enjoyed South of Broad by Pat Conroy. The story was a bit over the top, but the prose was beautiful, as always is the case with Conroy.

Those are the ones that jump out at me, but I need to look back at what I read and the years of publication because I'm always reading older stuff.
