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...

Tough Shit Life Advice from a Fat Lazy Slob Who Did Good

This guy comes on strong, opening with a long rap about his dad’s balls! and keeps going from there. You keep thinking I can’t believe he’s saying this! Definitely not for the faint-hearted but if you like your comedy hardcore and wacky this is freakin hilarious. Recommended.

A Visit from the Goon Squad

Held out against this for a long time mainly because two friends raved about it so much, but turns out they were right, Goon Squad is one helluva trip, a real virtuoso performance. The writing is very sharp and thought-provoking, the characters highly entertaining. At times it can all get a little confusing but then everything comes together and off you go again on a whirl through time. Well worth a read.

I took a chance on this (not my usual kind of thing) and I have to say it's without doubt the funniest book I've read in a long time. Not at first glance a likely subject for humour (Northern Ireland in the dark old '80s, guys sitting around talking about poetry and biscuits!) but against the odds it works. Made me laugh (a lot and out loud), think about stuff, and want to go back to my student days. My only complaint was there wasn't enough of it. I was really sorry when it ended. Definitely worth a look.
