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...

Mount Analogue A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non Euclidian Adventures in Mountain Climbing
by
Rene Daumal

, May 04, 2007
An unfinished story about an invisible mountain in a maybe-invisible book: Ren? Daumal's Mount Analogue is the novel that a stranger on the bus leaves behind on the seat, and you pick up, not knowing what it is, but start to read, and soon find yourself engrossed for an hour and a half; and then, it's over; and then, even though your plot-addicted mind tells you that what you've read is just an introduction, insignificant, with flat characters and a story of science-free science-fiction making little sense, you feel you've grown somehow, matured, opened your eyes in a slightly different way than every day before; and then, as you get up from your bus seat, leaving the book behind for the next passenger to pick up and read, you exit the bus, enter the world, and realize that the rest of your life must be dedicated to finding your own invisible mountain. In fewer words: Jules Verne for weirdos.
