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...

Captain Freedom: A Superhero's Quest for Truth, Justice, and the Celebrity He So Richly Deserves
by
Robillard, G. Xavier

Farcical and sometimes nearly too true to be funny. The satire may hit a little too close to home for many Californians. It has a different feel from Robillard's online writing, but he doesn't seem to have had any trouble moving into the novel format.

Fish, Blood and Bone
by
Leslie Forbes

, January 01, 2010
It has been a little while since I read this book, but it certainly stood out among the fiction I've read in the last ten years. I've given it as a gift to several friends and family members. Forbes uses language skillfully--something I find very important in a good work of fiction. It was an all around well written mystery with fascinating characters and Forbes includes historical and geographical information about the Himalayas and Tibet without ever making the book feel contrived. Every detail is an important part of the story.
