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...

Arsonists Guide to Writers Homes in New England
by

, September 05, 2007
A quirky novel of bright fires, dark humor and characters with even darker secrets, this novel gives new meaning to the concept of "living a lie". The faux "memoir" of one Sam Pulsifer, accidental torcher of the Emily Dickinson House in Amherst, Mass., Clarke's story is peopled with memorable and surreal characters, undisguised jabs at academia and razor sharp satire. At turns laugh out loud funny and profoundly sad, "An Arsonist's Guide" is ultimately a "how to" on confronting the truths that make us and the stories that break us.

Humanure Handbook A Guide to Composting Human Manure 3rd Edition

, December 18, 2006
As a person who contracted amoebic dysentery in Honduras in 1967 from vegetables "fertilized" with human by-products (and lost 12 lbs in a week and almost died), I have to say I'm a tad skeptical of the merits of using people poop to take "green living" to a new level. I would say "It sounds like a crock," or that I would "pooh pooh" the idea, but instead I'll Iet it pass.
