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...

Where To Invade Next
by
Elliott, Stephen

The most amusing thing about this book is that it is very difficult to know if the authors expected it to be taken seriously. It is, in essence, an excellent resource to anticipate all the propaganda that a neocon government would use on the public to incite more wars. Its "accuracy" in detailing the neocon distortions of reality, unfortunately, means that the book becomes a resource for neocons as well, unaware that the book was really meant to "out" them. Anyone who believes that Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are "dictators" has obviously read nothing but the sources for this book. The chapter on Venezuela, a subject of personal interest, is virtually totally false. So, here's a nice little litmus-test book: have someone read it, and understand how far away their views are from reality according to the degree they agree with what is said in this book. Well worth having on your shelf if you'd like to have a good summary of well-researched lies. As much a resource for the people opposed to American Imperialism as for those who wish they could take the book's advice.

No One Left to Lie to The Values of the Worst Family

A very enjoyable debunking of the myths of the goodness of both Mr. and Ms. Clinton. A reminder that much of what Bill Clinton did as President was not good for people overall. Hitchens should revisit the book to bring the material about Hillary Clinton up to date, but I suggest the book is "must" reading for anyone thinking about Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate for 2008, and black folks in particular should disabuse themselves of the idea that Bill Clinton was as great a man as they seem to think (and that therefore Hillary deserves credit by association.)
