For once a diet book ruled: The Fast Diet, championing intermittent fasting, topped a chart still heavy with weight-loss titles. The real cultural marker is Gone Girl at four, Gillian Flynn's twist-thriller launching the domestic-noir wave to come. Alex Ferguson's autobiography and David Jason's memoir showed celebrity life-stories selling hard. The sleeper is The Cuckoo's Calling, the crime debut quietly revealed as J.K. Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith. John Green's The Fault in Our Stars built toward its huge following, while Minecraft's official annual flagged a gaming generation entering the bookshop. A year of fasting, twists and one secret pseudonym.
