The literary blog The Millions has tabulated the results of its survey of the Top 20 recently-published best books among its readers and selected book reviewers. If you need a quick way to pick your next read, you could do worse than choose one or more of these titles.
The blogpost also mentions a similar list published by the New York Times in 2006: The Best Works of American Fiction in the Past 25 Years.

“People seem to think there is something inherently noble and virtuous in the desire to go for a walk. Any one thus desirous feels that he has a right to impose his will on whomever he sees comfortably settled in an arm-chair, reading.” - Max Beerbohm
From "Going Out for a Walk,"
in And Even Now (1920)
