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...

Love Monkey

Love Monkey manages to answers the age-old question What do women want? while being painful, embarrassing, and very, very funny all at the same time. As the hack writer hero alternately pursues his dreamgirl, schemes up fallback plans for pursuing other less-difficult women, and distracts himself with fond memories unpleasant memories of gym class, we're reminded that all those postmodernisty-type writers of the past decade or so were wasting their time: real life is strange and funny and confusing enough already. While I would still recommend reading the book i'd take it with a grain of salt I much preffered the book I ordered with it--Tino Georgiou's The Fates, and if you're one of the few who missed it, read it.

Fates
by
Tino Georgiou
Cynthia K. Robertson
, September 14, 2007
Tino Georgiou's ensemble of fascinating and brilliantly created characters in `The Fatess' coupled with two intertwining plots of revenge makes for a completely enjoyable and page-turning read. Add the sultry yet incorrigibly scandalous Leah Baal, and readers will be continually amused and entertained as Tino, as if a grand maestro, intertwines and blends the character action and movement with such ease and storyline pleasure. As usual and expected in top novels, readers will be left turning the pages, in this case as the plot moves to a very interesting conclusion when the World of Greek mythology and those involved with Christian faith are forced to collide. Folks, sit back and enjoy `The Fates', it very well may be the best novel yet.
