Top Five Books of 2014

Archivist13: Nakamura is one of the newer master storytellers to come out of Japan. The ending is what made this my favorite book of the year. Japanese crime-noir at its best

Archivist13: Cry Father delivered a dark, and tense story of fathers and brothers, alcoholism and violence. A lot of violence. If Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O’Connor had a child, it would be named Benjamin Whitmer

Archivist13: I love a good time-travel yarn, and this one had it in spades- action, history, the occult and great storytelling make this a sure bet for an excellent read.

Archivist13: Written by Mike Hudson, singer of early Punk Icons The Pagans, and packed with insights into the Los Angeles Twitter culture, alcohol abuse and delusion, wrapped inside a twisted story of true love. I found Fame Whore to be entertaining from the first page to the last.

Archivist13: A quirky science fiction crime story with a bit of awkward romance. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, the ending is what really makes a great book to me, and Latticework’s final pages will blow you away with shock and surprise.
