NYT Notable Lists 2004-2011

I wanted the NYT's Notable Book Lists in one spot and couldn't find them that way so I made my own. The reason I don't go prior to 2004 is because that is when they had a buku number of books each year, so I just started with 2004. These are only the fiction and poetry titles -- I don't include the non-fiction ones.

My goal with this list is not to read all the selections, but to chip away at the books until I read all the titles that I do want to read. Bold titles have been read. *Asterixed titles are those I'm most interested in reading.

My goal, though, is to eventually read at least 10% from each year (about 5 titles).

Total: 45 of 367.
