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...

The Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of an Underground America

I'm enjoying this book, and learning a good deal about specific mushroom species, especially how to cook with them, the plants that they are closely related to, and the environments they grow in.

Marie Equi: Radical Politics and Outlaw Passions
by
Michael Helquist
Dale Danley
, September 20, 2015
This well-researched biography of a strong-willed woman physician opens up a new perspective on Portland before the First World War - its people, economy, and political culture. The Portland depicted here is the best a small city can be - tolerating the diversity of different gender and sexual minorities. The prestigious hotels downtown (many of them still standing) offered a form of elegant lodging where women could live with a great level of independence. The women who attained education could also earn professional prestige. The medical community was strong but also pulled apart by warring factions over abortion and family planning. When Marie Equi was in her heyday - between her medical school graduation in 1903 and her conviction for sedition in 1919 - she was a force to be reckoned with, in the courthouses and in the meeting halls. I enjoyed learning more about Portland in this book.
