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...

Great Gatsby
by
F Scott Fitzgerald

Great novel. First time reading it and I'm sorry I didn't read it sooner. Great story about desire, intention, perceptions, and the things that drive people. A couple of unexpected plot twists in my opinion, which made it an even better read! I need to read Fitzgerald more often...

Very provocative novel...poetic and ethereal. I was compelled to see what happened through to the end. Can't wait to see what else Mr. Harding has to offer us.

Good read...great perspective from en entire town who knew Santiago was going to die, practically watched it happen, and did nothing. Marquez's writing never disappoints.

Left Hand of Darkness UK
by
Ursula K Le Guin

Intense read and very thought provoking. No doubt Leguin was ahead of her time when she wrote this novel. Childbirth and gender, while not the main focus of the story plays a strong role and leaves one questioning the hegemony of modern society and the roles imposed on all of us.

The Quiet Girl
by
Peter H�eg
abookworm1966
, May 23, 2012
This was a fascinating book...taking twists and turns at every page. The main character was quite unique...I found myself eager to see what would happen with him next and not only where he would be next, but trying to figure out how he got there. It kept me wanting more, and not wanting it to end at the same time.

Same Kind of Different as Me A Modern Day Slave an International Art Dealer & the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together
by
Ron Hall

, April 09, 2012
This is a great book. One of human compassion, and of people forgetting the boundaries that often separate us. Heart wrenching and moving, this book truly illustrates how easy it is to put differences aside.

Fountainhead Centennial Edition

Incredibly intense book...great view of the human condition. As relevant today as it was when it was written, if not more so. Rand was well ahead of her time.
