The first book I really want to recommend is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I rated this as excellent meaning "GREAT read, I would read again." While I expected to enjoy the book based on all of the reviews I had read I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. For anyone who grew up in the 80s and started playing video games on an Atari (or earlier) and has continued to play in some fashion or for people who have some weird obsession with the 80s this book should hit a lot of high points. Rated high for nostalgia in addition to having a fun, action packed plot, this book was one of my top 5 reads for 2014.

As a bonus there is a review by Patrick Rothfuss (author of the The Name of the Wind series) that made me laugh.

Patrick:
I very much agree with Ready Player One (linked to my reveiw on GoodReads). It was definitely my most favorite read of the year!

I also really enjoyed: A Nameless Witch by A. Lee Martinez, and Cordelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold.
