Five Book Friday: In Memoriam

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 Road

One of the absolute best novels I have ever read. I'm glad it won Powells' awards, it truly deserved it. I thought I had already commented and cast my vote for it, but since it's not showing up in the comments, I figured I'd have to do it again. It is a page-turner from start to finish, but more than the suspense, it's the beautiful prose that hooked me. I found myself rereading paragraphs not for confusion, but because McCarthy's word choice is so stunning at times. This is a work that truly demonstrates the power of the written word.

This is the first book my McCarthy that I've read and it was enthralling. I can't remember how many times I stopped and reread passages, not for confusion but because they were so beautifully written. I went out and bought another of his books as soon as I finished. The Road is, hands down, the best book I've read lately, and I think maybe the best I've ever read.
