(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...

Tenth Parallel Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity & Islam
by
Eliza Griswold
thestwood
, January 01, 2011
The Tenth Parallel takes the reader on a trip to several African and Asian countries on or near the tenth parallel north of the equator that have both Islamic and Christian citizens. In most instances, the practitioners of these religions are in conflict - often violently - and Griswold courageously and sensitively interviews them and discusses their relationships. It's an amazing and insightful adventure, and provides insight into parts of the world many of us will never visit.

English Passengers
by
Matthew Kneale
thestwood
, January 01, 2010
English Passengers is both sad and riotiously funny. It is sad because it recounts how the British exterminated the aboriginal inhabitants of Tasmania. It is funny because the passengers on the ship sailing from England to Tasmania in the 1850s are unique characters with bizarre ideas (such that the Garden of Eden was located on Tasmania).It is certainly one of the best novels of the last decade.
