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...

Wonderful. The reader is drawn in to this other world, that is constructed so well. Telling the story from the child's point of view only increases the story's depth and imagination, as the child only knows this environment. It's a captivating book that has the reader cheering on the mother and child.

Body Piercing Saved My Life Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock
by
Andrew Beaujon
Meghan Scott
, May 01, 2007
Beaujon's venture into the land of Christian rock is a brave one. With its own language, its own culture, and its own history, Christian rock is something usually left to the insiders. Most stories of this world have usually been speculation, a story only told from outsiders to outsiders, by way of an outsider's viewpoint, lacking a sense of understanding. Somehow Beaujon has gone much deeper into this culture and been taken in by some of the bigger names. I applaud Beaujon's openness in reporting facts (the short history was a good recap for me), and his ability to not judge harshly. As a person who has been in the mentioned culture for more than 10 years, I felt like Beaujon had written part of my life story. It seems almost a sigh of relief to have a book that knows what I know about a music industry created in its own subculture. While some more complex issues didn't seem to be approached, the only real problem I encountered was that when the book was finished I wish it had only been more in depth and quite a bit longer.
