Always books. Never boring.

As we shift to fall and settle in, we’re steady getting great list after great list of new, must-read books being published in the coming weeks. The New York Times is the latest to proffer some recs for the book world’s busiest season, this time under the umbrella of nonfiction. But don’t worry—despite it being an election year, the list is varied. There are memoirs by political figures, like Ketanji Brown Jackson and Angela Merkel, but there are also tales of cults and even the paranormal life of a Navajo Ranger.
