An addition to the 21st Century Best Novels (so far, and at this time and place)

If you don't know about my list of best 21st century novels, it's here . [1] It's a list I'll be curating until I somehow (apocalypse or heart attack from running) cease to have internet access. I've mentioned before that the filter of time may add or take away a novel or two. So far, nothing has really been taken away, though I've demoted Llosa's Dream of the Celt for some reasons that aren't wholly apparent to me. 

I'm also adding Adiche's Half a Yellow Sun to the list of the books I have in consideration, though not in the final set. A talented author, Adiche is sure to come up with a few more books to this list (I haven't read Americanah).

 If you think I should add anything else, please let me know!

[1] Now I know that these lists can be parsed ten ways and picked to death, but—of course—my list a better list than the GQ one—which seems to look through a list of NYTimes recs and come to its choices. On the other hand, the BBC one seems a little better since it's somewhat more worldwide, but still seems like a list of short term favorites (Adiche, of course, excepted).
