2014 Rusty Rueff Books Read and "Best Ofs"
I've also included what I felt were my "The Best Ofs" for the year.
Another year to also compare reading Statistics/Mediums:
17 Books read (a down year for me due to lots of writing on my own second book)
71% read digitally (d) - that's up from 66% in 2013 and 25% in 2012
71% were Fiction
(d) The Goldfinch - Taart *predicted its Pulitzer win from the first page. Loved it.
(d) Americanah- Adichie *If Dave Eggers says read it, then must be good. It was!
(d) Bark - Moore *Best Short Story collection
(d) The Silkworm - Galbraith (Rowling)
(d) Brave Girl Eating - Brown *Most eye-opening book of the year
(d) I am Pilgrim: A Thriller- Hayes *Best page-turner (and first time author)
(d) The Son - Meyer
The Defector -Silva
The Fallen Angel - Silva
Boys in the Boat - Brown *Best non-fiction and want it to be a movie
The Big Burn - Egan
The Soundtrack of My Life -Davis
(d) Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - Shafer
(d) The Art of Stillness - Iyer
(d) 10:04 - Lehrer *Best to not live up to its hype
(d) Citizen's Creek -Tademy *Best fiction based on truth that made me want to know more
(d) All The Light We Cannot See - Doerr *Best book of the year! Can't believe I got the gift to start the year with The Goldfinch and end with All The Light We Cannot See - 2015 Pulitzer?! Think so!
