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...

House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street
by
William D. Cohan

, January 03, 2013
This is a must read for all those interested in understanding the support behind Occupy Wall Street and capping compensation for corporate executives. This book captures how poor management, lack of controls, and herd mentality led to short term profits, enormous bonuses, and overpayment to corporate executives who had no understanding of their own business models nor the leadership team they put in place. While the top echelon ran off with mega millions and continue to be allowed into the fraternity of upper management, millions of hardworking employees continue to pay the price. Both sides are presented but in the end, he who finds and exploits the loop holes is rewarded with the biggest prize.

Not only will this book make you feel good, it will change the way you interact with dogs. This is a fantastic read - funny, sad, and warm, and angry in one sitting. You will not regret this read.

Super Sad True Love Story
by
Shteyngart, Gary
zeebee
, September 15, 2011
This book is so funny on so many fronts-- the embrace of technology across life stages, the melting pot of America, the current credit meltdown, and the present "follow me" social networking bravado. It was amazing how many trends were incorporated in this book that had you relating to it and laughing out loud. Shteyngart takes each of these areas to the brink of absurdity but you find yourself saying "that pretty much is what is going on today - It's not so far out." He's the literary counterpart to movie maker/producer Woody Allen. Same intellectually twisted humor buy this book
