"Favourite book you read this year"


  

          

Doesn't have to be published 2014.
Why did you like it?
In the light of what we know.Zia Haider Rahman
Horrible title but so glad I took the plunge.
Dense read that's carried by superb writing.It's all over the place in a good way and plenty of easter eggs for third world transplants with backgrounds in a academia or have parents who do.Can't recommend it enough.
