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...

***Only Casebook I Ever Enjoyed for Both Quality and Content of Writing*** This casebook is not only a stimulating compendium of thought-provoking cases (each alone, but especially when juxtaposed together) -- I found it strangely amusing to read pretty often. Professor Mackinnon takes something of an absurd tone in order to distance her personal voice from her explication of key ideas. It makes sense; she cannot make a new idea intuitive to a reader by defending it in the terms in which she intuitively conceives of it. She has to use ideas more attractive to people of divergent views to make sure she gets her theories across for due consideration. In any case, the results were often laughable to me. If you have a high sensitivity to comic absurdity, perhaps you too will be amused. In any case, it's a stimulating read whether you're studying this area of legal theory from a sympathetic, suspicious, or wholly open mindset. I thought and learned a lot reading this material.
