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...

Mentor
by
Tom Grimes

, March 12, 2011
This was a very moving memoir of what it means to be a writer, a reader, and the relationship one comes to have with their mentor--though complicated and obsessive at times as it may be. It was a phenomenal tribute to Frank Conroy, and a very interesting read that I would suggest to anyone that loves reading, considers themselves a writer, or wants to know more about Frank Conroy.

Zeitoun
by
Dave Eggers

, January 01, 2010
This was a very poignant and touching account of the Zeitoun family and their experiences in Hurricane Katrina. It is very interesting to see the insider perspective--a perspective not realized by the rest of America, potentially far from Louisiana and Mississippi. I would not have been privy to any of the graphic horrors that some of the victims faced had I not read this account. Dave Eggers continues to amaze me, and I am always surprised that he can top himself. He does amazing work!

Undertaking Life Studies from the Dismal Trade

Thomas Lynch has a way with words about death, life, and everything in between, like no other author. His unique perspective on something that can be considered dark brings light and warmth to the essays. This collection has easily become my new favorite book, as it is poignant, breathtaking, and mesmerizing.

Heavy Rotation: Twenty Writers on the Albums That Changed Their Lives
by
Terzian, Peter
Andrea Oyarzabal
, August 10, 2009
This is a really great book. It was a tremendous idea to compile essays about first album experiences. My personal favorites so far have been Sheila Heti's "What Annie Knew" about the Annie Soundtrack and Mark Greif's essay "Fugazi:Fugazi" about Fugazi's self-titled album (which is way more in-depth than just mentioning Fugazi). Definitely worth a read.
