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...

The Difference Engine
by
William Gibson and Bruce Sterling
Zackie
, January 01, 2012
What would have happened if Babbage had managed to build his difference engine? What would change? What would stay the same? In this alternate reality, he did, and the industrial revolution coincided with the information revolution. The book follows several characters through a world that is as familiar as it is strange. It explores the social and political ramifications of this change while pursuing an engaging plot. Amazingly detailed and well-researched, this steampunk classic is a tour de force by two of the best sci-fi authors out there. Highly recommended.

A fantastic tale that is still rooted in reality. Prose about poetry. Poetry in prose. A story about what it means to be a translator. About Russians and Americans. About greater and lesser angels. And about love, naturally.

Norwegian Wood

Haruki Murakami and Jay Rubin

Deeply moving. Poetic without losing touch with reality. This is by far Murakami's best work and one of the greatest books ever written.
