It was not for a lack of reading material more the depth of reading in each book. Of course it started in 2013 with The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton; 800 plus pages requiring close reading over an elongated period but the big books I read in 2014 were not fiction. Fiction has always been my preferred genre but recently I have found myself reading more memoirs and literary biography - from these I get an insight into both books and lives and the writing environment as well.
See my list of books read in the side panel and look out for a greater variety of titles in 2015.
