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...

, October 25, 2008
A very honest, close-to-home study of the really psychotic world of retail.

Take the Cannoli Stories from the New World
by
Sarah Vowell
David Hollingsworth
, October 11, 2008
Powell has created a coolly crafted, down-to-earth piece of storytelling about how society really lives in America. She has a knack for satirical undertones that could, or should be considered very rare in American literature.

Twist Of Lemmon A Tribute To My Father
by
Chris Lemmon
David Hollingsworth
, August 28, 2008
An incredible read of a man who was not only one of the greatest actors of all-time, but who was also a dedicated father to his son, and it is filled with amazing antidotes from the people who knew him best, especially his son. If you're a dedicated pop-culture fanatic like I am, then you should read this book.

When I Knew
by
Trachtenberg, Robert
David Hollingsworth
, June 20, 2008
This a very complex book about many people's worst fear: coming out, and it's told from very realistic point-of-views from the names you all know, but the lives you've never known. As a person who has the same fear, I found it very hard to put down. Many people like me can read it, and feel good about who they are, even when living in a time of never-ending sexual prejudice.

Kick Me: Adventures in Adolescence
by
Paul Feig
David Hollingsworth
, April 06, 2008
A disturbingly comical journey into the often horrifying phase of youth, which is also ironic because everyone of us has had many unbearable experiences with growing up. Everyone who reads this book will see themselves as the main character, who is trying to survive his own life by dealing with his own personal hell to get where he is today.

Red Weather
by
Pauls Toutonghi
David Hollingsworth
, January 09, 2008
This could be the novel that purifies the essence of youth under pressure, and the tragedies below the surface of social commentary. It also accepts that love can either make, or break you, and that there really isn't anything wrong with using a little acid-tongued humor to fulfill your desire to reach that certain something that you are searching for, either now, or somewhere a little later down the road of your life.

Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer 20T
by
David Hollingsworth
, November 02, 2007
This is one of the most brilliant films I have ever seen. McNaughton has the gift of frightening storytelling that goes way past the depths of independent filmmaking. Michael Rooker gives a performance that rivals Brando in The Godfather, Al Pacino in Serpico, and Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. The supporting cast of Tracy Arnold & Tom Towles gives the film equal emotional depth that is a true rarity in horror movies.

Audition
by
Eihi Shiina
David Hollingsworth
, November 02, 2007
This is an extremely sick rush of pure originality that goes beyond pushing the envelope. The fact that the first half of the film is supposedly romantic drama, and the last half of the film is a daring descent into the deep abyss of Hell, makes it even more perverse. When a critic of the film says it is like a swan dive into a pit of spikes, needles, and razor wire. That means alot. It remains too real.

Lake House
by
James Patterson
David Hollingsworth
, November 02, 2007
This is a work of staggering art, and suspenseful intensity that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Patterson has this overwhelming ability to keep the reader amazed, intrigued, impressed, and blown away by his genius. It also describes the horrors of scientific medicine that has disturbing consequences for everyone, and makes you think about the world we live in.

Frank Sinatra: The Man, the Music, the Legend
by
Fuchs, Jeanne
David Hollingsworth
, August 07, 2007
An incrediblely detailed portrait of a music & film legend. Frank Sinatra will always be a favorite of mine because he was a great actor, and of course an amazing singer. This is a great item for readers, and for fans of Mr. Sinatra.

Shining
by
Stephen King
David Hollingsworth
, August 05, 2007
This novel takes you straight into the heart of evil, and it has a very disturbing atmosphere as you read it. This is one of King's better works of suspenseful literature. Read it, and you shall see what I'm talking about.
