The Guardian recently asked readers what they believed were the best books of early 2014, then listed the top ten. The choices were interesting, starting with J K Rowling's new crime novel (The Silkworm), an analysis of modern economics (Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century), a book about one writer's love of a classic Victorian novel (published in the US as My Life in Middlemarch), a collection of short stories by Lydia Davis (Can't and Won't) and even a novel about an author's wives (Mrs. Hemingway).
