Use the first or last name of a major character in a book you have read about between January 01, 2014 - December 31, 2014.

You can use books you read for other challenges. One name per book has to be used, so total books to be read is 25 - 1 letter can be excluded at your discretion. It can be any one of them.

Major character = someone who plays a big enough role in the book. Not someone mentioned in passing.
