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.

The Paris Review offers a delightful reading list this autumn, covering a variety of genres from literary fiction to thrilling mysteries. Notable mentions include Rachel Kushner's 'Creation Lake,' which follows a secret agent on a chaotic mission in France, and Patricia Highsmith's classic 'The Talented Mr. Ripley,' delving into the life of an infamous sociopath and his glamorous deceptions. For fans of contemporary fiction, Sally Rooney's works continue to resonate, exploring themes of love and family, particularly with her novel 'Intermezzo,' which highlights the complexities of grief within family dynamics.
