(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...

State of Wonder

Interesting, engaging characters that were not predictable in the least. Fascinating setting (the Amazon). And plot turns that I never saw coming. I really hated for this story to end.

Dispatches From the Edge: A Memoir of War Disasters and Survival
by
Anderson Cooper
CASplan
, January 01, 2011
I'm not usually a fan of memoirs because they always seem so self-indulgent, but Cooper's account of the major stories he's covered, with particular emphasis on the big stories of 2005, add incredible weight and balance to the parts of the book about his early life and the lingering effects of the loss of his father and brother. It's a book about loss, both globally and very, very personally and Cooper tells it well. His writing is clean and crisp, yet sensitive and he gives the impression of a well-trained observer who doesn't miss a detail. I tore through this book in a couple of days and was sad to see it end. I hope he writes another.
