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...

Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas
by
Alonso Duralde
Kim Usey
, December 17, 2010
As the images on the cover should show, this terrific compendium of Christmas cinema goes far beyond the most familiar festive flicks. "Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas" is the perfect listing of holiday movies, making sure to include beloved classics like Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, and the myriad versions of A Christmas Carol, but also branching out into such different holiday-film categories as heist and horror. Independent L.A. film critic Alonso Duralde brings an encyclopedic knowledge of film to his task, but never condescends or comes across as anything less delightful than a true lover of movies, and Christmas movies in particular. Leonard Maltin just included it on a list of essential movie reference books, and having read through it twice, dog-earing all the way, I have to agree. If you can't wait for December to bring you Hollywood's holiday goodies every year, "Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas" will whet your appetite for merry movies all the year through.

Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
by
Michael Chabon
Kim Usey
, January 01, 2010
This book sprang instantly to mind when I saw "vote for the best book of the decade." It was the first Chabon I ever read, and after the first few chapters, I actually took a sick day to stay home and read the rest all at one whack. It's tremendous in its scope and imagination. It would be a Desert Island Book.
