I'm not surprised that I've only read 12 of the NYT's best 100 books of the 21st century, and that a few more of them I DNFed. There were plenty of titles there I have deliberately not picked up. I think the diversity of this list would have been improved by only including one book per author.
The only ones here I'd include in my personal list of the best books of the 21st century would be The Fifth Season, Detransition, Baby, and Fun Home.
