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...

Gone Girl
by
Gillian Flynn
Jessica Moore
, January 11, 2013
Suspenseful! How you feel about the characters in Flynn's novel will change with ever passing page. The story is engaging, complex, and spellbinding and at times you feel like you are right in the middle of their lives. Telling the same story through two points of view make the novel seem like a conversation between yourself and these characters.

Spillover Animal Infections & the Next Human Pandemic
by
David Quammen
Jessica Moore
, January 11, 2013
Wow! Animals, viruses, mysteries, travel...you get in all in Spillover. Quammen did a fantastic job of exploring these zoonotic virus origins all over the world--he provides enough detail to explain the complexity of the situations but doesn't overwhelm the reader with technical lingo and jargon. Many of the viruses (and bacterium) discussed will amaze you and making you feel a little uneasy about how closely the world is connected!

Paleo Solution
by
Robb Wolf
Jessica Moore
, August 04, 2012
Very interesting read. Wolf really tries to build a bigger picutre of what a modern paleo diet should lok like while giving you enouh detail and science about why our modern grain-dairy heavy diet is harmful. This wws recommemded to me because of a recent autoimmune diagnosis, so I am going to give Wolf the 30 days he asks for, eating his way. For me, trying is the only way to see if his diet suggestions will make me more healthy. I recommend reading with a healthy level of skeptocism...but also an open mind about how our bodies respond to the foods we feed upon.

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by
Rebecca Skloot
Jessica Moore
, January 01, 2012
This book moved my mind and my heart. In reading Skloot's adventures with the Lacks family, the researchers, and other players in Henrietta's story I felt I was a member of the Lacks family and seeking the truth about the HeLa cells. Learning about the evolution of cell cultivation, the history of medical care for the black community in the 50s, and a very personal story of a single woman was life changing. I am familiar with the communities that tell the story of Henrietta so I was able to picture the places and the people along the journey told by Skloot. An amazing story!

An Invitation to Environmental Sociology
by
Matthew Robinson
Jessica Moore
, September 08, 2010
Book provides an interesting perspective on environmental issues, human behaviors, and history of how the two interact. Many of the chapters made me really think about my behaviors, where they stem from, and how they really impact me and my interaction with my community and environment.
