One of my resolutions for 2014 was to Read More, and I have! Yeah. (It's much easier to keep fun resolutions.) So far, of the 20 books I've read since January, I've loved three. So, here are some reading recommendations from me, in no order at all:

Bear wrestling, carnies, Agent Orange. Kuitenbrouwer finds a way to tie it all together in an amazing story.

Based on the true story of the last execution to take place in Iceland. Haunting and beautiful.

A day in the life of a self-destructing alcoholic. Cringe-worthy moments written so well that I couldn't put it down even when I wanted to.

I recommend downloading the CBC Podcast of Ideas from February 17, 2014 called "Aging by the Book." It's an interesting and informative look at a reading circle from the Ottawa Public Library in which all the readings have to do with aging, and all the participants in the circle are at various stages in later life. The readings, much like bibliotherapy, are intended to provoke discussion and a personal understanding of the process of aging. Some wonderful readings are recommended.
