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.

Lies My Teacher Told Me 1st Edition
by
James W Loewen
Brook
, June 13, 2007
To use a recently-learned 'textclamation' I picked up from playing World of Warcraft... ZOMG!!! This book is amazing, disturbing, depressing, and fascinating all at once. Loewen doesn't just tell you what your teacher left out; he also explains why it was left out in the first place. Either because of the teacher's own bias, the economics of textbook publishing, or politics of 'faith,' there are numerous factors unrelated to a child's education that influence what he or she will be taught in American schools. This is a must-read for anyone that aspires to independent thinking.

Science writing does not have to be dull and Matt Ridley proves it. This is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read of any genre. Highly recommended, 5 stars, A++!!!
