Identifying the exact top 400 fiction books of 2019 is challenging. It could involve looking at bestseller lists from different sources, awards, and reader reviews. But it's safe to say it included a mix of established and emerging authors across multiple genres.

In 2010, among the top selling fiction books was 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown. Fans of his previous works like 'The Da Vinci Code' flocked to this one for its mix of mystery and historical elements. Also, 'Cutting for Stone' by Abraham Verghese was popular.

'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn was also among the top. It had a complex and twisty plot that kept readers on the edge of their seats. And 'The Casual Vacancy' by J.K. Rowling was a well - received fiction book that year.

Another popular fiction book in 2014 was 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr. It told a beautiful and poignant story set during World War II. The unique perspectives of the two main characters, a blind French girl and a German boy, and the vivid descriptions of the war - torn landscapes made it a remarkable read.

One of the top selling fiction books in 2013 was 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt. It had a captivating story that followed a young man's journey through life after a tragic event, with themes of art, loss, and redemption that really resonated with readers.

I'm not sure of the exact criteria. But it could be based on factors like literary merit, influence on other works, and popularity over time.

One highly recommended book is 'The Girls'. It has a really interesting premise based on the Manson Family. 'Here I Am' is also good as it tackles important issues like family and identity in a contemporary setting. And 'Commonwealth' is a great read for those interested in family dynamics over a long period of time.

Well, 'Record of a Spaceborn Few' by Becky Chambers was quite popular. It's part of her Wayfarers series and does a wonderful job of exploring different cultures in a spacefaring society. Also, 'Artemis' by Andy Weir. It's set on the moon and has a really engaging plot about a woman trying to make a living there.

The book 'The Underground Railroad' was a top choice. It's a unique and engaging look at a very important part of American history. The way Colson Whitehead reimagines the Underground Railroad makes it a really interesting read for book clubs. Another one was 'Here I Am'. It has a lot to discuss in terms of family dynamics and how modern families deal with different issues. For example, the characters' relationships with each other and their place in the world.

The selection for 'top 100 science fiction' could be based on a variety of factors. One might be their influence on the genre. For example, books that introduced new concepts like time travel in a unique way or new alien species designs. Another factor could be their popularity over time. If a book has been continuously read and recommended for decades, it's more likely to be included.
