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...

This Changes Everything Capitalism vs the Climate
by
Naomi Klein

, September 28, 2014
it is astonishing to see theology masquerading as non-fiction, and this was obviously written with a shovel, not a keyboard. I read it through with a growing sense of deja-vu and glanced at the 1976 Club of Rome predictions, gathering dust on my bookshelf. Don't we ever learn?

Flashman On The March
by
George MacDonald Fraser

, January 05, 2013
As in all his work Fraser is both historically accurate and a lot of fun. However the poor man died last year, I believe, and the comments should now be in the past tense.

Can Asians Think Understanding The Divid
by
Kishore Mahbubani
apenergy
, November 17, 2012
Rather interesting that Mahbubani, who was an apparachnik of the Singapore Foreign Ministry and an apolgist for authoritarian "democracy" in all its unsubtle forms, should choose to live in dirty, disporderly near-anarchic New York, rather than in clean, progressive, advanced - and strong-arm - Singapore. He never gets around in this book of assays in explaining his personal choices. It would make an interesting sequel volume.

Forced Into Glory Abraham Lincolns White Dream
by
Lerone Jr Bennett
apenergy
, August 12, 2012
Any author that starts out with the premises of our present time to 'judge' Lincoln is foolish. Lincoln himself stated clearly in his letter to Greeley that if he could save the Union wihtout freeing a slave he would. But once the course of events forced him to move towards abolition he never wavered. Nothing Bennett had written detracts from Lincoln's luster, though surely dimishes respect for Mr. Bennett's ability to wrie anything but a racial polemic.
