2006: March by Geraldine Brooks
2001: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
2000: Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
1961: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

I've only read four, but I own a lot of the recent ones, so hopefully those will get read soon. Including Middlesex!

I'm also reading The Age of Innocence right now.

I've read only 5 so far:
1988: Beloved by Toni Morrison
1981: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
1961: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
1953: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
1921: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

[Isa]

I've read:

1999: The Hours by Michael Cunningham
1994: The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx
1976: Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow
1961: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
1953: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
1921: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Technically, I guess I've read another one, 1974: Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It was the top pick for that year, but the jury said the book was "unreadable, turgid, overwritten, and obscene." ;D

Also, I've got 2003: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides and
2000: Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri at home
