Ruth Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 These are my favourite reads of 2014: The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autopbiography, by Sidney Poitier (but I have to say that my enjoyment was enhanced by listening to it as an audiobook, with Mr Poitier narrating) Kiss Me First, by Lottie Moggach Rich: The Life of Richard Burton, by Melvyn Bragg The Biography of Martin Luther King Jr., edited by Claybourne Carson Emma, by Jane Austen (but doesn't really count, as I've read it before a few times) These are the books that I've rated 5/5. There are some that have come very close. Interesting (to me anyway) that 3 out of the 5 are auto/biographies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 However, I'm in the final throes of Tim Blanning's magnum opus, Pursuit and Glory, after almost two months reading, and I'm already pondering whether to make it a 5* or 6* book. Magisterial is an overused word, but I really think it applies here. Comfortably rates six stars, and comfortably my Book of the Year to date!

Athena Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I finished reading Ready Player One a few days ago and want to add it to my list of 'Best Books I've Read so far in 2014'. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
