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...

Serena is an unforgettable character, a strong, ruthless, beautiful woman. Lady Macbeth in the woods of 1930s North Carolina. This book stayed with me a long, long time.

As the reviews state, a frightening, KING LIKE book. I understand that this is the first of a 3 volume trilogy. Can't wait for Volume 2!

Lehane, Dennis
FPE

The Given Day brings the reader a true picture of life after The Great War, The Spanish Flu, and the unrest that was in Boston moreso than most any other city in the country. A really entertaining read!

Michael Lewis is already a smart one on the gaining and spending of $$, from Moneyball to Liar's Poker. Smart insights here, along with some choice pieces reporting past econimic 'corrections' help to figure out what's up today.

McCains Promise Aboard the Straight Talk Express with John McCain & a Whole Bunch of Actual Reporters Thinking about Hope
by
David Foster Wallace
FPE
, October 10, 2008
Upon reading this originally in Rolling Stone during John McCain's first run for high office, I was taken by both the subject and the writer. Reading it again makes me think about what could have been, for both subject and author.

Big Russ & Me Father & Son Lessons of Life
by
Tim Russert
FPE
, June 19, 2008
Recent events of course, as well as Father's Day, cause me to once again read this book. I'm sure Big Russ, in his pain, can only be thankful that his sun, Tim, was able to write this memoir. And we who read this are all lucky to get a glimpse into a father son relationship that is at once unique, yet in many other ways, a relationship that many (myself included) can say "Yup, me, and my Dad, that is what it is all about!"

O Holy Cow
by

FPE
, August 30, 2007
Holy Cow, this book is like modern day baseball haiku. The Scooter's ramblings translate very well to the printed page. Every literate baseball fan should have it, you huckleberry!

Great Influenza The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History
by
John M Barry
FPE
, May 31, 2007
A great historical, medical and sociological read. Important history to know, with every news item of the next avian flu coming our way, or maybe even when a TB patient is discovered to have flaunted and ignored efforts to have him quarantined.
