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 Warmth Of Other Suns: The Epic Story Of America's Great Migration
by
Isabel Wilkerson

, January 03, 2013
This book is a wonderful combination of history,oral history and just rich human stories of people we are honored to know about. Ms Wilkerson has done a magnificent job of researching people and their history right up to the present moment. This book fills in the massive gap of what African-Americans have gone through in their history of our country. The great story of people's migrations from the South to other parts of the country are detailed, well explored and give a rich sense of what it was like to come from backgrounds that were dealing with relentless racism, violence and the day to day stress of just being able to stay alive due to the racist attitudes and violent behavior that is still present in our culture. One of the best books I have ever read.

Dead End Gene Pool A Memoir
by
Wendy Burden

, January 01, 2011
I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons. Wendy Bender is the same age as I am. I was also a very neglected child in a crazy household-It was fascinating to see what intergenerational abuse/disfunction keeps producing and diminishing quality of life. Having the same time line and living in New York City was an amazing look into how we all live and what money can or will not do to its possessors...Fascinating family history. Especially if you have read about the Vanderbilt history.
