So this is one persons (mine) opinion on which of the first 15 books from the Goodreads Popular Modern Fiction list would belong in what I see as the Modern Fiction category proposed here:

Spoiler:
The list of top 15:
  1. The Kite Runner
  2. The Da Vinci Code
  3. Life of Pi
  4. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
  5. The Lovely Bones
  6. The Time Traveler's Wife
  7. Memoirs of a Geisha
  8. Fight Club
  9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)
  10. The Help
  11. The Road
  12. Angels and Demons
  13. Atonement
  14. Middlesex
  15. American Psycho
Books from this list that I would exclude:
  • The Kite Runner
  • The Da Vinci Code
  • The Lovely Bones
  • The Time Traveler's Wife
  • Memoirs of a Geisha
  • The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)
  • The Road
  • Angels and Demons


I should also say that among the books that I did not exclude there are some that I would never nominate or vote for. I can't make an argument that those don't fit the category though.
Thank you!

I understand and agree with it being sorted out during the nominations, I was just trying to get a better understanding of the "genre" as its not one I would normally look for, specifically.
