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...

Comic Book Character Unleashing The Hero
by
David A Zimmerman
Guy Fandango
, August 29, 2006
Mini Review of Comic Book Character by David Zimmerman If it were on Tv it would be on: Sci-Fi (oh wait it already is) Summary: Not as cornball as a current Sci-Fi reality show, Comic Book Characters exposes the hero deep within us all. The only thing [a]Zimmerman[/a] (if that is his real name) does not reveal is the secret of making a really nifty fortress of fortitude. But I have a feeling it would be a square or cube about 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. It will have a high tech security system to ensure nothing impure will ever enter it. It will also block out anyone who is shameful or deceitful. To get in you have to hame your name on the guest book. [kw]Superman[/kw] should take some tips. First Zod, then [kw]Lex Luthor[/kw] infiltrate the arctic fortress.

Cell
by
Stephen King
Guy Fandango
, August 26, 2006
Mini Review of: Cell: A Novel by Stephen King If it were on tv it would be on: TNT Summary: A shorter updated version of [t]The Stand[/t]. This felt like it was lacking something. King pushes the characters from incident to incident and relies on his well-worn toolbox of devices to create suspense and sympathy. A good, quick summer read.

Prestige
by
Priest, Christopher
Guy Fandango
, August 26, 2006
Mini-review of: The Prestige by Christopher Priest. If it were on tv it would be on: Sci-Fi Summary: Amadeus for magicians. Two rivals struggle for prominence as the master of their art. One must work hard to perfect his technique, while the other has an innate ability. Similar to: [t]Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell[/t]

Foucaults Pendulum
by
Umberto Eco
Guy Fandango
, June 09, 2006
If you liked that "[kw]code[/kw]" book that everyone is reading, I guarantee that you'll enjoy Foucault's Pendulum. Secret societies meeting in ancient churches, hidden codes, this book has it all. While Umberto Eco's writing style is more demanding than the breezy light narrative popular among most summer reading picks, if you take the time to engage this challenging narrative you will be rewarded with a breathtaking adventure that leaves you wondering if you are [kw]paranoid[/kw] enough.
