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...

Three Cups of Tea One Mans Mission to Promote Peace One School at a Time
by
Mortenson, Greg and Relin, David Oliver
Marilyn Landeros
, June 05, 2009
The nightly birrage of mostly negative reports of current events of Pakistan and Afghanistan left a limited, if not, jaded view of the countries and it's people; until I read this book. This is a well written documentation of the quest of one man, Greg Mortenson,to bring schools to the remote villages of Pakistan's poorest children, especially girls. Greg Mortenson's life journey took a different path after an aborted climb of K2 in the mountain regions of Pakistan. Tired, confused and sick he made a wrong turn and stumbled into a the tiny village of Korphe and into the mission that is taking place even today. This is a profound read. I highly recommend it. "Here (in Pakistan and Afghanistan). We drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family and for our family we are prepared to do anything-even die". -Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan. (this quote was printed on the back cover of my book)

Granny's Wonderful Chair and Its Tales of Fairy Times (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)
by
Frances Browne
Marilyn Landeros
, April 26, 2009
I became enchanted with my very old, falling apart, copy of Granny's Wonderful Chair and went in search of another copy. Frances Browne is an incredible story teller and writer. She draws you into her story and you don't want to put it down even my 15 year old granddaughter I was reading the story to felt the same way. I have not read a children's fairy tale in a long time that has affected me in the same way. I highly recommend this book.
