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...

The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials 1
by
Philip Pullman
Kathy Fraser
, March 09, 2008
"Never judge a book by its movie." Our whole family devoured this trilogy, thrilled to find a series of unexpected caliber after the end of the Harry Potter books. Pullman weaves mythology, science and real emotion into a serious page-turner. Occassional violence and some deep themes are treated with the same descriptive detail throughout. You will want all three books in hand before starting the first!

Tintin 17 Explorers on the Moon

My daughter Jeneva says:" I'm nine years old and I recommend this book. It's full of adventure; one of my favorite books (trust me), I like reading it over and over again. Thompson and Thomson are really funny in this one. You need to read "Destination Moon" first, though".

Pan's Labyrinth: 2 Disc Platinum Edition (Widescreen)
by
Maribel Verdu
Kathy Fraser
, June 20, 2007
Enchantingly dark, brutal yet beautiful story of a child's inner life in a time of horror. When it was over the entire theater filed out in total silence... it will haunt you.

As a cycling freak, I really appreciate the central role of European bike racing in this quirky animation. Full of dry, French satire and witty stereotypes.

Pattern Language Towns Buildings Construction Center for Environmental Structure
by
Christopher Alexander
Kathy Fraser
, February 26, 2007
This is the BIBLE of conscientious design; an invaluable reference for architects, whether city planners or builders of garden sheds. The authors combine classic aesthetic themes from around the world with functional common sense and viable building materials to organize abundant points for consideration when designing spaces for human use. It is beautiful enough to read even if you are not currently planning any construction: inspiring, accessible and timeless.
