The New Year is usually a
time to make lists; lists of resolutions, lists of things to do, places to go
to and the like. And so inspired by a colleague who has a neat list of books
she wishes to read in 2014 pinned up at her desk, I too have come up with my
reading list for this year.
Here goes my list in complete
random order:
