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...

Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
by
Siddhartha Mukherjee
lindavw
, January 09, 2012
This has to be the best non-fiction book of 2011. Mukherjee demonstrates what great writing can be: intriguing and personal, never dry and always accessible. As a medical researcher and physician, he has created a compelling and compassionate work that encompasses all we we have come to know about cancer, from its first discovery in Egypt to our modern day targeted gene therapies. He has included real stories of cancer patients (many of them his own patients) and the dedicated doctors and researchers who race to find the cause and cure of the deadly spectrum of cancer diseases. It is an inspiring work and I believe it will remain as good a read in ten or twenty years as it is today.

Fall of Giants Century Trilogy 01
by
Ken Follett
lindavw
, January 03, 2011
Sweeping saga of the first quarter (or so) of the 20th Century. The story was so compelling that I zoomed through the 800 pages, even though I knew the outcome of women's suffrage, World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the Great Depression. The story is neatly tied together with memorable characters and nice historical details. This book has very broad appeal and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a book with a good, intricate plot.
