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...

Mayor of Casterbridge
by
Thomas Hardy

, July 21, 2009
Personally, I do not prefer Victorian novels - I dread the "Jerry Springer" conflicts and the ever so exaggerated wordiness. But the Mayor of Casterbridge is the best of it's genre. It is a very long novel: there are plenty of unnecessary details that seems like Hardy only used them for authentic purposes. But underneath these endless lists of details, there is a plot that will keep you turning the page - even if it takes 2 minutes. If you need to read a Victorian novel, this comes highly recommended, but if you prefer simplistic details that get the point across,unfortunately, then any Victorian novel is not for you.

In Cold Blood A True Account of a Multiple Murder & Its Consequences
by
Truman Capote

, July 08, 2009
I read this novel in 3 days straight, I could not put it down. Capote's intense descriptions that are in 3rd person are so detailed and strong, it's as if it has all the emotion of a 1st person novel. I highly recommend this novel, not just for school reports, but also for a way to occupy your mind. But be warned, once you start, you won't stop.
