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...

Tinkers

"Tinkers" is an amazing book. Harding's writing is beautiful. The book's characters develop before your eyes and will live with you after you finish the story. I've already given two copies away as a must read. Give this book a chance.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
by
Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie makes you laugh and breaks your heart. This book is not just for kids. I'm mom to two teen-age boys and this book helped me remember some of my own feelings during those critical busting out years and it helped me see my own boys in a different way. Must read!

Olive Kitteridge
by
Elizabeth Strout
L J Rod
, January 22, 2010
In Olive Kitteridge, Elizabeth Strout opens our hearts to a complicated woman and to stories of truth, ugliness, and beauty. Do we love Olive or do we hate Olive? John Gardner held that fiction has value not just because it entertains and distracts us from out troubles, and not only because it widens our scope and increases our knowledge of people and places, but because it helps us know what we believe, affirms what is noble in us, and leads us to feel uneasy about our limitations. One thing I'm sure of, the reader won't be the same after reading Olive Kitteridge.
