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...

Loved this book. Bought it earlier in the week and powered through it in a day, it was that good. Funny, interesting and relevant plot, fantastic characters with problems that almost anybody can relate to (he has a lot of problems, you'll be able to relate to at least one). It reminds me of a Christopher Buckley book, but with a deeper, more flawed main character. Get it.

This is the best satirical novel I've read in a very long time, probably the best ever since Catch-22. Absolutely hilarious. The way that she has taken a completely taboo topic and turned it in to a valid (in the book) approach for dealing with a troublesome problem facing "big business" is masterful. Just buy it and read it.
