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...

Horizontal World Growing Up Wild in the Middle of Nowhere
by
Debra Marquart
Bonnie
, October 25, 2006
Well-written, engrossing memoir about growing up in North Dakota. The author makes you sense the place, see, hear and smell it. It's enlightening to those of us with little or no knowledge of the history and the people who inhabit this part of our country.

Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow
by

Bonnie
, September 27, 2006
Unique novel about life in a Muslim suburb of Paris written in the voice of a teenage girl. The author plops you right in the heart of life here including the angst of being an out-of-place teen to racial and economic realities. It's written with heart and humor.

Tales Of A Female Nomad Living At Large
by
Rita Golden Gelman
Bonnie
, September 14, 2006
This is a fascinating account of a middle-aged woman who decides to follow her bliss and set off to see the world. But she does it as a backpacker with no home address, just going where the spirit moves her. It moves her from Mexico to Bali to the Galapagos to Israel, etc. In her writing she tells us about the incredible people she meets throughout the world. It's a marvelous account of people and their warmth and similarities everywhere, rather than their differences. Highly recommended.

Walking In Circles Before Lying Down
by
Merrill Markoe
Bonnie
, August 29, 2006
Funny, warm, entertaining book. Whether you like animals (and can suspend belief enough to believe they can speak to you) or not, this is a fine novel. Markoe is an Emmy-winning comedy writer and her wonderful sense of humor shines through.

There Is No Me Without You One Womans Odyssey to Rescue Africas Children
by
Melissa Fay Greene
Bonnie
, August 21, 2006
I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced reader copy of this fine book. It's immensely readable and heartbreaking, yet wonderful. The strength of the human spirit shines through in this journal of AIDS orphans in Ethiopia. Their amazing stories are interspersed with the history of AIDS/HIV and the hubris of big drug companies worldwide. A book that NEEDS to be read by everyone who considers themself a caring human being.

Ghost Soldiers
by
Hampton Sides
Bonnie
, August 19, 2006
This book should be required reading in every middle or high school in America. In fact, everyone should read this book. It defines heroism -- young people need to see and understand the kind of heroes in this book, and to recognize the difference between them and contemporary pop stars and athletes.
