From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor
I'm not really ready to say goodbye to summer, but it's quickly coming clear that I don't really have a choice. Thankfully, the waning of beach-going season coincides with the start of pumpkin pie season, so I'll cope.

Good Books to Read in Fall
Fall is all about change and transition, and these books fit in nicely with that theme. If you're looking for some ideas for your book club, or just some additions to your personal reading list, this is a great place to start.

The Fall in Classic Literature
Once again, we humbly remind you not to forget the classics! The symbolism of autumn has played a significant role in hundreds of classic works. Here are just a few great ones to get you started.

Poems for Fall
So many great poets, classic and contemporary, have been inspired by the fall: Shakespeare, Keats, Shelley, Browning, Sandburg, Frost... Take a moment and read some of these poems, and get into the seasonal spirit.
