Books and Movies of 2014

I challenged myself this year to get back into the swing of reading for leisure and for soaking up new information and ideas. Here are the complete lists of media I consumed over the past year (since I started keeping track in May). I wish I had read more but this was a great start!

Text size and boldness indicates how the book or movie ranks as a favorite or recommended! (Re-read material not included). I think my favorite authors over my lifetime have been: C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.. Paulo Coelho could make the list... but I think I need to read more than The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes to know for sure. Heh.
