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...

All That Man Is

I will say that, at first, the title really caught my eye. I had thought it was a reference to "all mankind," but after reading the synopsis, I am still intrigued...

The Martian

Excellent book! I can't speak for the archaic "written" format, but the audiobook is great! Focused, intense, and funny. Read the book before the movie with Mat Damon (as Mark Watney) comes out!

The Complete Alfred Bester's Stars My Destination
by
Chaykin, Howard

This is a most amazing book, and the graphics that Chaykin has created do it justice. This is a VERY wordy "graphic novel." I'm not complaining (not at all); it's almost like an illustrated book with the illustrations "dial" turned way up. I had the First Edition (Part 1 only) for the longest time; I'm loving the final, COMPLETE set! Until there's a film, this will have to do, but it does a wonderful job!

The book sounds fascinating! But what the hell is with the "Synopsis"?? It reads as if you pasted it here from some other book.

I have heard great things about this book from a friend who is a former JBL acoustics engineer! Now I just have to get a copy for myself!
