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...

Steinlen Cats Drawings
by
Theophile Steinlen
Nancy Pershell
, October 29, 2014
Steinlen Cats is as much a tribute to this man's obvious love of cats as it is to his depictions of these beautiful cats! The expressive postures, facial expressions, and movements of the cats are pure joy! Many of Steinlen's commercial works included felines, also. His gift of portraying these animals was phenomenal. Whether you are an art student, a lover of cats, or just enjoy the beauty of art, this book will more than satisfy you!

Mutant Message Down Under
by
Marlo Morgan
Nancy Pershell
, October 27, 2014
This is one of the books that I reread every 3-6 months! Marlo Morgan changed the classification of this book from true story to fiction to avoid prosecution by the Australian government when she refused to provide the names and locations of the Aborigines in this book. Ms Morgan, a health professional, was hired to work in Australia and, while there, received an invitation to come accept an award. Her experiences changed the way she viewed many things, from people and their circumstances to healing methods to complete and total honesty. The Aboriginal people are amazingly astute and intelligent, have kept accurate records of world happenings for aeons, leave no footprints on the earth and contribute to the earth's natural propagation of plants and animals. Their beliefs, if incorporated by other countries and peoples, would not only save the world but also make the world an infinitely better place to live in now. No, I'm not recommending the actual physical lifestyle of this particular group as most people would not choose to live that sparsely; however, by living by their beliefs, each of us could do our own individual part to make this world a better place to live! Eliminate wars and violence, duplicity, destroying Planet Earth, greed, self-centeredness, needless acquisition and more. Total respect for one's self, for the group/world population, for the ecology of the Earth, for all plants and animals, for absolutely everything - not just a utopian dream, but an actual reality!
