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...

To the Lighthouse

I had tried to read this classic by Virginia Woolfe several times before my daughter, an art professor and a voracious reader, explained the novel. it is a series of voices from the interior, each expression is a person's emotions. So even though it seems to be action, one must read it as feeling. Once I got atuned to it, the reading went better and I began to click with what the author was doing. It is a difficult but rewarding read. Never have I felt closer to the characters, nor the author.

Cutting for Stone

I wasn't sure I could find anything to connect with about a book that took me from India to Addis Ababa to America and back. Was I wrong! These characters create a reality so absorbing, that it took me through 4 airports and 5 days of travel, never missing a single page. The story of how identical twins, attached at birth, grow in a loving medical household in primitive Africa with the leftovers of Italian colonial times, is thoroughly enthralling. The details of revolution, of medical wizardy, of shock and recovery are profound. A yes, yes, yes to this book.
