If you’re an avid reader, your pulse is about to start quickening right about now. With fall about to be in full swing, the frothy guilty pleasure reads of summer are officially dead. In their place, we can now get back to reading things we won’t ashamed of being seen on the subway with (I’m looking at you, man trying to read Fifty Shades Freed on his Kindle in secret). And as always, autumn does the heavy lifting for the year, giving readers treat after treat of wonderful options to choose from. This fall is shaping up to be a literary lovers dream, with some of the biggest names in publishing and pop culture in general releasing new works. In September alone we saw new books from the likes of Stephen King, Thomas Pynchon, and Tom Perrotta.
