Books read in 2014

January 2, 2015 by Pedro Mendes Leave a Comment

750_booksAs you probably noticed already, I read a lot. It’s one of my greatest pleasures. I take a book with me everywhere I go. It keeps me company, I learn immensely, and so I develop.

Here’s the full list of books I read in 2014. Some have to do with the topics of this site, some don’t. But I thought I’d share it anyway. They range from fiction, to business and management, to personal development, to technology. The ones I reviewed are linked.
