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...

Snuff: Discworld 39

Terry Pratchett never fails to deliver a laugh-out-loud read that at the same time touches your heart and makes you think. I don't think you can ask any more of a writer than that.

Quicksilver Baroque Cycle 01

I have read everything this guy has published, and I think this is his masterwork (so far). Yes, the book is long, the plot is complicated, and there are lots of characters to keep track of, but it's well worth the effort. It's just a huge subject and requires the length and the depth of characterization it displays. I, personally, am fascinated by the history of science and the people who do it, and I think Stephenson does an excellent job of bringing these people to life and placing them in the larger context. I also love the sense of humor and the way he seems to care about his characters. This series is Important to anyone who cares about the way the world works, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
