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...

Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship
by
Michelle Kuo
Carole Hsiao
, February 04, 2018
Wonderful, engaging account of education on many levels. Rachel Kuo's experience with Patrick is rich with revelations. Kuo conveys the most important, integral part of education...caring about her teaching and her pupils. This book reveals the profound reaches of the act of learning and articulates the unquestionable value of discovering meaning in life (for both Patrick and herself).

Yarn: Remembering the Way Home
by
Kyoko Mori
Carole Hsiao
, April 13, 2010
Kyoko Mori's graceful reflection on her life is beautifully written. Through memories highlighted by her interest in knitting, she explores her painful past, a past that she tries to keep separate from her present. She intersperses historical and cultural values of knitting to relate to her journey. "Yarn" is an open account of a life that moves across cultures, identities and personal relationships while discovering self. Reading this memoir feels like a very intimate glimpse into the life of an otherwise private person but the process that Mori engages in by writing the book shows that she realizes the importance of sharing her story.
