My 2014 Reading Log

A list of all of the books I read in 2014 and logged in Good Reads, I read a few more technical books but didn't log them for whatever reason.

I have read a total of 14 books, 8 fiction (mostly science fiction and fantasy) and 6 non-fiction. Of the two autobiographies, I found Mark Ellen’s Rock Stars Stole My Life! to be very good, taking the reader through the rock landscape of the 1960s to the present day through the eyes of a music journalist.

The book I most enjoyed was Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Neil Gaiman was certainly my find of 2014. He manages to write quite original fantasy in a way that doesn’t make the book feel like fantasy.
