    * Nineteen Eighty-Four was the only book I consumed this year that I'd previously read, it's my favourite book of all time, and I try to read it at least once per year

    ** A Day Of Fallen Night was the only book that I took a break from before returning to later in the year, as with most books of its gargantuan size, the set-up of the plot took quite a long time, as well as the sheer un-portable nature of an 880 page book. However upon returning to it, I was delighted to find I had stopped just short of the moment when all the previously established dominoes began to satisfyingly fall.
