Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(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...

Salt In Our Blood

This book was a delightful surprise. For one thing, the story takes place on the coast of Oregon. For another, the writing is honest and beautiful. Although I've read it four times, I'd take it on a plane to enjoy it again.

Bonk The Curious Coupling of Science & Sex
by
Roach, Mary
Jeff Taylor
, May 26, 2008
Don't be put off by the NYT's sourpuss comment about Ms. Roach's chatty footnotes. Will Cuppy, the funniest historian ever to write books, also used the footnote technique for risible effect. (I'll bet everything down to my last loincloth that the NYT reviewer has never read one damn word of Cuppy's. Or would be able to identify Cuppy or name one book he wrote.) This book is about a fascinating, universal, but subject, and Ms. Roach's tone is perfect. One to read a dozen times and share with friends.

Reel Women The World Of Women Who Fish

This is one of the best gift books imaginable. But buy a copy for yourself, too, because you'll read it many times. I didn't find the typeface objectionable, and I appreciated the fact that I learned something new on nearly every page. Best of all, it's written by an Oregon author.
