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...

Notes from A Small Island
by
Bill Bryson
Pagoda
, June 26, 2012
If you've ever wanted to explore Britain through the eyes of your fussy, slightly curmudgeonly, but ultimately warm and lovable uncle, Bryson's book is a must own. His appreciation for the minutiae of British life comes through in his witty and detailed descriptions of everything from British naming conventions (visit fabulous Nether Wallop) to the eccentricities of the fifth Duke of Portland and his underground mansion. For better or worse Bryson will bring out the anglophile in you through this ode to the motherland, and about the time you finish reading you'll want to start planning your own cross country trek.

Ready Player One
by
Cline, Ernest
Pagoda
, January 01, 2012
While definitely not the "best written" book of 2011, Ready Player One is almost certainly the most fun. Cline's world draws you in and doesn't let go, much like the game played by its characters. Gamers, tech geeks, sci if fans, D&D players, and geeks of every other kind: this book is for us!
