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...

This is totally perfectly Murakami. Real life, possibly real life, possibly not real life, and definitely (actually, let's delete the definitely) not real life all mixed together. I am just waiting for the early early morning when I open my curtains and get to see two moons.

Witches Abroad

I am on a quest to read all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. This one really smacked around my funnybone and left my cheeks sore from laughing and had me late for appointments because I just had to read one more page. Also, for everyone enjoying the fairytale based series on tv 'Once Upon a Time' and 'Grimm', Terry Pratchett did it first with 'Witches Abroad'!

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
by
Haruki Murakami
Cat
, January 22, 2010
Best Book I read in the last decade. Actually, tied with 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown. These are such completely different books but both have remained in my head and in my heart. Thoughts and feelings about these two books keep popping up unexpectedly in relation to what's happening in my life at that moment. What kept me caught in 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles' was how fluid time and reality became in the narrative. Whose version of reality is "real"? It seems we each have our own take on what we experience. And then there's time--things in the future impacting things in the past--not the way I'm used to time moving, but I like that idea. Maybe what an Inuit person said is true, that time is an ocean that we dip into.
