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...

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
by
Jonathan Haidt
Thomas Hester
, January 01, 2013
Haidt mixes social psychology, political science and philosophy to create a heady brew that is likely to send a reader reeling off to think things through. While I sponsored objections to The Righteous Mind at nearly every page, I felt that Haidt himself would have been interested in my arguments if he could have heard them. The strength of the book is its empirical structure and the hundreds of supporting data adduced at strategic points.

Loving Pedro Infante
by
Denise Chavez
Thomas Hester
, January 28, 2010
Denise Chavez has written a novel of American humor that ranks with all the great dark, ironic classics--Miss Lonelyhearts, Catch 22, Budding Prospects, The Sot-Weed Factor. Terre Avila works as a teacher's aide in a Rio Grande town. Though she's the unappreciated mistress to the town's richest, most harried married man and though she has gathered about her a coterie of friends and family who support her as they misunderstand her, Terre searches for the deep, passionate romance represented by the sexiest star in Mexican cinematic history: Pedro Infante. Will Terre find true love? We know she won't. She knows she won't. (Somewhere along the way Terre muses, "Loves gives us forget pills.") But at least with Terre Avila in her wonderfully manic story, we must ask the question, and the spirit that floods this narrative and carries us away will endure decades and decades.
