(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...

Frankenstein Annotated for Scientists Engineers & Creators of All Kinds
by
Mary Shelley, David H. Guston, Ed Finn
Bookem Dano
, March 03, 2018
This edition, annotated for scientists, engineers and creators of all kinds, was very helpful to me while preparing a public library presentation to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein. I was impressed with the almost up to the minute grasp of science that the teen aged Shelley possessed. I recommend this book wholeheartedly! Especially if you've only encountered film iterations of the story.

Coates was the perfect choice to write this character, the pairing with Brian Stelfreeze's art was brilliant. You will be happy you read this.

A House for Mr. Biswas
by
V. S. Naipaul
Bookem Dano
, June 17, 2017
I was expecting some comic scenes in this book but I did not expect to laugh out loud. Mr Biswas is a strange character but I'm pretty sure I would have loved to have the desk next to his at work. This tragicomedy is worth your time.

When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II
by
Molly Guptill Manning

I wasn't familiar with this program so I learned a lot from this book. Well written and compelling story. I'm a big WW2 buff and a book collector (hoarder?) as well, so this one was right in the sweet spot.

Mentor
by
Tom Grimes

Loved this book. For anyone that aspires to write, this is an excellent memoir. Grimes revisits with his reader the experiences of his early career. The luck, the hard work, the perseverance, the frustrations, the anger, the joy and the gratitude all come through.

Cannery Row
by
John Steinbeck
Bookem Dano
, April 08, 2017
Was fortunate enough to visit Monterrey as I was reading this. Knowing a little bit about the place and time and "Doc" really added an element of enjoyment. I really liked this book, the characters, even though from a vastly different place and time from my own experience, were likable in all of their faults. This short book made me feel like I was visiting this community all those years ago.

Huck

Loved this graphic novel. Not your traditional super-hero, Huck shows all of us the power of good deeds. A celebration of community and family with plenty of thriller thrown in.

All Quiet On The Western Front
by
Erich Maria Remarque
Bookem Dano
, April 08, 2017
We just read this book for my book club. Hard to believe that after 100 years this book gets it so right. The opening chapter immerses the reader in the topsy turvy world of war at the front. A place where humanity is set aside so that instinct can take over. Beautifully written and poignant. If you read one book about war this should be it.
