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...

The Host
by
Stephenie Meyer
Crystal
, May 05, 2008
Stephenie Meyer has made a wonderful contribution to the science fiction genre with her latest book The Host. She has taken an overused plot and given it new life with compelling characters and intriguing situations. I was quickly drawn into the world she created and was sad when the book ended all too quickly.

Surviving the Extremes What Happens to the Human Body at the Limits of Human Endurance
by
Kenneth Kamler
Crystal
, February 06, 2007
This is one of the most engaging non fiction books I've had the pleasure of reading. Dr. Kamler explores the processes the human body goes through when put in environments inhospitable to human life. From outer space to underwater, it's the vast amount of details that make this book so special. Personal experience is mixed with scientific evidence to provide a truly amazing look at what happens to the body in a hostile environment. I have a new appreciation for both the environment and the human body after reading this book.

March
by
Geraldine Brooks
Crystal
, September 19, 2006
Brooks brings to life 19th century America with well-crafted prose and beautiful stylization. The March family--[a]Louisa May Alcott[/a]'s endearing clan of women--is given new life through the eyes of Mr. March, a Union chaplain. With a mix of believable characters, historical correctness, and nods to Alcott's [t]Little Women[/t], [t]March[/t] explores the power of war and human relationships. This book is worth its reading time.
