2010 reads as twenty ten?

It's a matter of taste. It could read either twenty ten or two thousand and ten.

like birds nest soup

or two thousand ten (no and)

Remember Prince, "Gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine". I don't think anyone ever called it nineteen hundred and ninety nine in everyday converstation. "When were you born?" "Nineteen eighty-four" (hypothetical conversation--I myself date from quite a bit earlier). So I'd opt for twenty ten.

As has been said, "twenty ten", two thousand and ten" and (mainly in the US) "two thousand ten" are all acceptable.
