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...

Appetites Why Women Want
by
Caroline Knapp
Robyn Ringler
, September 20, 2011
Every woman should read "Appetites: Why Women Want", published after author Caroline Knapp's death at age 42. It is a riveting exploration of why women obsess about their weight to the point of anorexia and bulimia and why women become addicted to things like shopping, sex, food, and alcohol. Knapp's narrative voice draws the reader right in. Her personal insight--always right on--and exacting journalism astound. For women and the men who love them, this book provides the "aha" moment of a lifetime.

Let The Great World Spin
by
Colum McCann
Robyn Ringler
, January 01, 2011
This allegory of 9/11 is the best book I've read, possibly ever. Colum McCann is a master at creating characters that come to life in NYC in the 1970s--a time when the city faced countless obstacles--drugs, prostitution, graffiti, etc. There are so many parallels between that time period and the time after the 9/11 tragedy--when we never thought we would be able to live normally again. And yet we did get through it. This is a 9/11 novel. It is a NYC novel, where the city is a character in itself. And it is a novel of commonalities among people from all walks of life--six degrees of separation. It is dense, but keep reading!! You will forever be glad that you did.
