The Road (Oprah's Book Club Selection #57)
by Cormac McCarthy

Recommended
award winner by our staff
Powells.com Staff Pick
Strike-me-dead beautiful and bleak — this is the book I put into every customer's hands. Absolutely the best thing out of 2006, and perhaps many years preceding, The Road reminds me of McCarthy's early novels, only matured to perfection. Recommended...

Absolutely brilliant. The best novel I've read in months, if not years, The Emperor's Children has left me powerfully moved; Claire Messud's knowledge of the human psyche is uncanny, and her characters became, in one afternoon, more important to me than...

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
by Christopher Moore

Recommended
by independent booksellers by our staff by our customers
Powells.com Staff Pick
Christopher Moore's Lamb is an utterly hilarious take on the story of Jesus. Told from the perspective of Jesus' smart-ass best friend, Biff, it is irreverent without being disrespectful. Lamb, or any of Moore's books, would be perfect for someone who...
