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...

Bliss
by

Peter Carey tells you how people look, think and feel-each of these in total disharmony with the rest of it and with other people, how each trait and person keeps changing and is completely unreliable, and he even goes to the incestuous, and yet he tells you about the most common feelings of people regarding themselves and others. Some descriptions of the mindwork and of perceptions take my breath away with their accuracy. Finished it, and now I want more peter Carey!

Pacazo: Dynamic Lifestyle Changes to Put You in the Driver's Seat
by
Kesey, Roy
Avital
, August 04, 2012
Pacazo is an ambitious book that conveys the historical movement of our times but never fails to move the reader with the delicacy of love between father and daughter and husband to dead wife. It explores an obsession for finding the truth, in the hope for some relief, but the truth is potentially dangerous since the relief is conditioned with revenge. Here and there there are moments of lightness, well woven into the beautiful prose.

Alias Grace
by
Margaret Atwood
Avital
, February 05, 2007
Alias Grace is one of the best books I read last year. But of course, Margaret Atwood Never lets you down...She weaves a facinating story based on a true one about a young woman who might have been a Machiavelic murderess or a victim of circumstances. The story involves you as soon as it begins, and you never wish the book to end.

Kafka On The Shore
by
Haruki Murakami and Philip Gabriel
Avital
, February 05, 2007
A motherless fifteen-year old boy and an old man who only casts half a shadow and speaks with cats go on essential trips in the material and in the metaphysical world. Haruki Murakami makes them so flawed and lovable they become real and you care about them so much you take the trip with them and never look back.

Diary Of A Young Girl The Definitive Edition
by
Anne Frank
Avital
, January 01, 2007
This is a book I read when I was 16 and now I'm passing it on to my daughter who is 16. I read it again now and noticed how the world has changed with time and how this book still grasps your heart as you get much older than Anne Frank.
