2014 Year in Books

Here is a list of books I read and updated to the site Goodreads from the year 2014...it doesn't include newspapers, magazines and cereal boxes, but it does include the many books I read about communicable diseases, nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization, so I've got that going for me.

For the Crossword enthusiast, I guess DeLilo's Underworld was the one most vital piece of literature I read, but the most enjoyable was probably Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.

            Blood, Bones, and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef
         

         

            by Gabrielle Hamilton
         

         

            Difficult and worthwhile, but also petulant and melodramatic. If she were a fictional character in a novel, I'd expect her small gains in emotional validation would not contain the burden of her motherhood.
