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...

Prayer For Owen Meany
by
John Irving
Jeffrey Hitchings
, November 13, 2008
Irving's stories are always filled with a motley crew of characters, and a healthy dose of historical events. Owen Meany is certainly no exception. Beginning in the 1940s, Irving tells the story of John Wheelwright's life and his friendship with Owen Meany, a man blessed with physical and spiritual gifts. Irving uses the Vietnam War, Christianity, and the absurdities of New England social rules as a backdrop for this hilarious and touching novel. It is just as relevant now, with our current wars, as it was in the 80s when he wrote it.

Shutter Island
by
Dennis Lehane
Jeffrey Hitchings
, August 27, 2008
A thrilling period mystery set on an island in Boston Harbor during a hurricane. This novel was written by the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, and it certainly holds up to his previous works. Hollywood is making a movie out of this book, so hurry up and read it.
