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...

Matterhorn A Novel of the Vietnam War
by
Karl Marlantes

, January 01, 2011
An incredibly engaging book. It is at times funny and others haunting and heartbreaking. It's an impossible book to put down and I've continued to think about it since finishing it several months ago. A fantastic, illuminating Vietnam War novel!

Born to Run a Hidden Tribe Superathletes & the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
by
Christopher McDougall
EH
, December 01, 2010
This is an incredible read. There are at least three main components of the book that the author ties together seamlessly. One is a fascinating narrative of an truly remarkable footrace pitting the best athletes in the US against a Mexican tribe. Secondly, the story is a nice anthropological survey of a tribe living in some of the most unforgiving territory in the world. They have remained very isolated from the rest of the country, and their lifestyle is interesting and instructive. Third, the book manages to address the notion that modern day running shoes are helping runners by providing them better support. The author raises interesting, well-supported points that suggest that less may be more when it comes to running shoes. I don't think you'll have to love running to enjoy this book.
