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 book has ruined me for fiction for the last 7 months. Not necessarily a bad thing as I tend to overlook Non-Fiction far too often. Not only is this my favorite book of 2012 - it is my favorite book to-date. Epic, sparse, emotionally connected, mysterious, brilliantly written; it left me feeling like I was in an alternate universe for several weeks after finishing it. I think about it in some way or another at least once a week - still.

Approaching Eye Level

From the first essay, this book took me to a space of reflection that felt more than academic or philosophical, it felt emotional as well. The clarity of the writing, the trutfulness of her observations, made me feel a bit like I was reading a 'how-to guide' for understanding life. I enjoyed both the candidness and clear-eyed view with which she wrote about her own self/place in the world and her lack of judgement on the people she was interacting with. This is the book I am sending to my book loving friends for their birthdays this year.
