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...

Unbroken A World War II Story of Survival Resilience & Redemption
by
Laura Hillenbrand

, January 02, 2012
One of the best books on WW2 I have ever read. And one of the best on how people can persevere under the most trying of circumstances. Laura Hillebrand has captured the person of Louis Zamperini in a way that makes him real. What was also real for me were the descriptions of him at sea with his pilot on the raft, then the unbelievable treatment received at the hands of the Japanese. Once back home Louis struggles with his version of PTSD, then is able to break though and cast it off in his religious conversion. A great story all around. I hope it is made into a movie.

Matterhorn A Novel of the Vietnam War
by
Karl Marlantes

, January 01, 2011
A powerful, visceral movie of combat...from the boredom of living in a wet, insect ridden jungle, to surviving under the suspense of action that never occurs, to the horror of senseless killing. This book took more than a few pages for me to get into, and at times I had to refer back to learn the characters and their relationships, then I was into the story and stayed up late on too many nights to finish it. Compelling, indeed, and so timely for what our military people are engaged in today. I kept asking the question..."why, why, are we still killing people?".
