(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

One The Life & Music of James Brown

This is an amazing overview of the Hardest Working Man in Show Business. After reading about his beginnings, I'm truly surprised at the heights he reached, his incredible business savvy, and his personal dysfunction. My recommendation? Get up offa that thing and read this incredibly well-researched and well-written biography!

Republic Lost How Money Corrupts Congress & a Plan to Stop It
by
Lawrence Lessig
Mary Capps
, January 01, 2012
Once again, Lessig is a voice of reason, but also again, few seem to hear that voice. Lessig's Tells elucidate how this country has gone from being for the people, by the people to for the moneyed, by the moneyed. His solutions are simple: campaign reform, campaign reform, campaign reform, campaign reform! This nonpartisan take on restoring the government to the citizens is not a new idea, but his ideas about how this might be accomplished are well thought out, although I personally don't agree with his suggestion that the Occupy Movement come together with the Tea Party Movement for one simple reason: far too many politicians who are part of the current problem have aligned themselves with the Tea Party Movement and, in fact, seem to manipulate it for their own gain. So I cannot support that union unless and until those influences are scrubbed clean. But, still and all, this is an excellent read and I highly recommend it!
