I finished The Three Musketeers with 4 days to spare! I've read The Count of Monte Cristo numerous times, but a paper copy of TTM was my airplane book for years. Several books in my 2014 reading referenced TTM, so I bought the excellent Pevear translation as an ebook and started it at Thanksgiving. d'Artagnan didn't do much for me, but Athos was more fun and Milady clearly escaped authorial control.
I read one series that had languished on my physical TBR shelf for 15 years, but didn't make as much of a dent as hoped beyond that.
Of my new 2015 reading, my favorite book was probably Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor, which I re-read twice, then read two of her excellent short story collections (Addison is a pen name for Sarah Monette). Favorite non-fiction: Jordan Ellenberg's How Not to Be Wrong.
