Maybe it was a quote or a poem that has become your new mantra. Or maybe it was a work of fiction that kept you up late at night until you reached the final page. Whatever it was, please come prepared to share some of the best writing you've read from 2013. You need not bring the material to share, just be sure to have the title and author on hand so we can share our favorites with one another. The book or material does not have to be something published in 2013, just something you've read in the past year that you'd recommend. We'll collect titles and authors and post them here online as a comment.
