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...

Doing Justice: A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law
by
Preet Bharara

, May 04, 2019
This book should be required reading for all citizens. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into the author's amazing mind and see the careful thought that goes into his decisions. Also fascinating was the information about prisons - especially the harm done by solitary confinement and how being quiet, calm, and kind can elicit the information needed from suspects without the use of force. We could all take a lesson from this author and hope that he continues to work for justice for ALL.

Loved it. It may not be Pride and Prejudice but it was mighty fine.

Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves
by
Frans De Waal

, April 15, 2019
I saw the last hug video and was touched so wanted to read the book. I had to stop reading though because of the author’s sexist remarks. Quotes:”Young women are both more available and more valuable because of the reproductive life that lies in front of them. Hence women’s eternal quest to look young vis hair-dyeing, makeup, implants, face lifts and so on.” “While a young woman’s bosom gradually expands, often aided by push up bras and padding, she too becomes a magnet of male attention. She learns the power of cleavage, which gives her clout she’s never enjoyed before, while opening her up to jealousy and nasty comments from other women. This complex period in a girl’s life, with its massive emotional upheavals and insecurities - blah blah.” I just can’t continue to read such sexist stereotypes. How could he be so uninformed or ... whatever.
