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...

When You Are Engulfed In Flames
by
David Sedaris

Not as strong as his other books. I found these stories to be a little forced-- like he had to write them to meet the terms of a contract or something. I had a couple of good laughs and had to read sections out loud to my wife, but overall I felt a little let down.

Monster Of Florence
by
Douglas Preston
FRED
, June 09, 2008
Not generally being a true crime reader, I was throughly surprised how fascinated with this book I was. It is extremely well researched and written. Mr. Preston has landed his book on my top ten list this year! I can not recommend this book to enough people.

Brief History Of The Dead
by
Kevin Brockmeier
FRED
, January 19, 2007
This book was not as great as I had hoped. I think it would have made a perfect short-story, but was too weak to be a novel. It started out strong, but fizzled half-way through. Not worth the time to read.
