Ask HN: Book recommendations for 2014?

I've just been going over all the stuff I read in 2013[1], and I particularly enjoyed a few recommendations that I got from HN last year including the Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant and The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. However, I'm looking at my To-Read List now and I'm shrugging my shoulders. I suspect there's a lot of good ideas out there and more like me who need something good to start the new year with. Any recommendations for the HN demographics?
