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...

Life Of Pi
by

I listened to the audio book and LOVED it! Pi Patel has a fascinating childhood and uses what he has learned as a zookeepers son to survive at sea with wild animals on a lifeboat. The book explores religion and with humor sprinkled about, keeps the reader engaged till the end.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by
Rebecca Skloot

, January 03, 2012
Rebecca Skloot is a hero for bringing this true story to readers. If you only read one book this year make it this one. You won't be disappointed by this incredible story that gave me chills and brought me to tears. Equally incredible is the tenacity and bold determination of the writer to make sure people know about Henrietta Lacks and how she is important and deserves to be recognized.

Healthy Aging A Lifelong Guide to Your Well Being
by
Andrew Weil
Janoseb
, September 20, 2011
I found Dr. Weil's book very refreshing compared to other books covering the topic of health and aging. There is a lot of scientific information in the book but is well explained so it is easy to understand the science connection to our health and what we can do to improve our well-being. I would recommend this book to young adults, especially, so they can optimize their health now and not wait until they are 50 to make healthier lifestyle changes. For those of us over 50 reviewing our health, this book is a must read and then implement the recommendations. Great writing and a pleasure to read.
