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...

Just for the record, I've addressed some of the questions being raised about my shameless self-promotion techniques on the Powell's blog, in a post called "Friends in Low Places." We really appreciate the support coming from so many readers -- thank you!

Kate Harding here -- thanks so much to everyone who's given the book a positive review! To those who are questioning our credentials... well, good on ya. Part of the point of the book is to encourage folks to be skeptical of information coming from sources that might not be reliable. But I'm guessing you didn't get as far as Chapter 21, where we write: "That advice to think critically goes for this book, too. We've included endnotes so you can check out for yourself where we're getting our info. We've only drawn on sources that we deemed credible after a great deal of thinking and research. We've avoided sources that support what we're saying but have an agenda other than finding the truth... We're a couple of bloggers with English degrees who happen to have done a lot of reading on this subject. It's up to you to question the quality of our information and our integrity in bringing it to you." We would only ask that you actually, you know, read the book before judging the quality of our information and/or our integrity. Maybe people who haven't had rigorous training in the humanities don't realize the world's top literature experts all agree that reading the text is a crucial element of critical evaluation. ;)
