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...

The Book of Flying
by
Keith Miller
Anagha
, September 01, 2006
It is a pity this book is often overlooked in the great bookshops. This is the ultimate and delicious conconction of a fantasy fairy tale set in no particular time, setting or place except the author's imagination. Using descriptive and poetic language, fanciful imagery and a multifaceted characterization, the author takes us on Pico's journey for wings; it is an adventurous and exciting journey in which Pico will encounter mythological creatures, discover true love, face his alter-ego and ultimately question the true motivation for embarking on his personal quest for wings. The author sucessfully strings together short vignettes to make up the stepping stones in Pico's journey. Miller has composed the ultimate Book of Flying for his readers - not one that teaches you how to fly, physically, but will teach your imagination to soar further than you could ever imagine.

Brooklyn Follies
by
Paul Auster

, September 01, 2006
Auster's easy-to-read "The Brooklyn Follies" ties family crisis together with morality, politics, sex and love based on the follies of the human mind. Recommended reading for minds who like to observe life and its vissitudes.

Memento: Limited Edition (Widescreen)
by
Carrie-Anne Moss
Anagha
, September 01, 2006
Christopher Nolan's "Moment" based on his brother Jonathan's short story is a story unlike you will ever have experienced - both in film or book industry. The film follows a unique temporal perspective, one storyline progressing forward in a linear fashion (shown in b/w) while a second one proceeds backwards (shown in color) and both perspectives meet in the middle of the unforgettable story. The story of Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a fictional tale that follows a man's troubles and trials with anterograde amnesia and the heart-breaking journey he must embark to give his life some meaning after he loses all that he values, both physically and emotionally. Nolan's film is a valuable gem of a film as it gives foray into reality of actual life situations, both in normal and amnesiac-afflicted people. Filled with a couple plot twists, excellent screenplay and dialogues, a blend of normal and "amnesiasic" perspectives along with memorable performances, Nolan's Memento is a definite keeper. Rate it 12 out of 10.
