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...

Eleventh Man
by
Ivan Doig
katee
, September 12, 2010
Ivan Doig brings you to his beloved Rocky Mountain front once again in The Eleventh Man - a beautifully written story of a championship winning football team whose starters are all called to serve (in one capacity or another) in World War II. Doig plucks this premise directly from the history books in which 11 starters from Montana State were counted among the dead in the war. The tale is told from the point of view of the team's former captain, Ben Reinking, whose unique experience as a child of a small town newspaperman makes him the perfect pawn of the US government's war propaganda machine as a military journalist whose assignment is to write of the deeds and heroics of his teammates in their various theaters of the war. I love this book!

Eyre Affair Thursday Next 01
by

, September 09, 2010
The first in a fantastical series by Jasper Fforde. Literary Detective Thursday Next's tale is one of a stunted love life, a strange re-working of history in which the Crimean War had raged for decades, a beloved pet dodo whose intelligence explains why the species went extinct, and the dastardly villian Acheron Hades. Full of literary, mythological, and historical references, what more could one ask from a book?
