I always feel my most studious in the fall, eager to tackle a long list of buzzy literary fiction, must-read nonfiction, and notable award nominees. Here is a mix of exciting new releases and modern classics that will be perfect for a very literary autumn. I have read most of these already (I guess I will need a new list for October!) and some of them are already in my top book of the year.
