I didn't keep track of the books I read in 2014 and I'm kicking myself for it. Here I will try and recall those I gave a go.

• Lake Wobegon Days Garrison Keillor (the first book I recall abandoning in a very long time. I loved the first 50 or so pages but then I lost all interest and at a friend's behest, gave up on it after a month or so.)
• Any Human Heart William Boyd
• Big Bang Simon Singh
• Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth Reza Aslan
• The End of Men: And the Rise of Women Hanna Rosin
• A Dance with Dragons: After the Feast George R R Martin
• Shadowplay Laura Lam
• The View on the Way Down Rebecca Wait
• The Princess Bride William Goldman (20/6 - )
• Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) Mindy Kaling
• Perfume: The Story of a Murderer Patrick Süskind
• Everyday Sexism Laura Bates
• Butterflies in November Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir (11/10 - )
• The Dinner Herman Koch
• Reykjavík Nights Arnaldur Indridason
