Here are my Quiz results......
Involved Reader: You don't just love to read books, you love to read about books. For you, half the fun of reading is the thrill of the chase - discovering new books and authors, and discussing your finds with others.
Exacting Reader: You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose.
Serial Reader: Once you discover a favorite writer you tend to stick with him/her through thick and thin.
Eclectic Reader: You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.

What we have to look forward to this fall

Lost Memory of Skin
by Russell Banks
Release date: September 27
Banks's novel follows a character called "The Kid" who must rebuild his life after being released from prison, where he spent time for having sex with a minor. Starting over is harder than it seems, as he must wear a GPS tracking device to make sure he doesn't go anywhere near children. The book explores his tenuous friendship with a professor who studies recovering sex offenders.


The Visible Man
by Chuck Klosterman
Release date: October 4
Klosterman comes out with a new novel this fall, about a therapist and the mysterious patient she becomes obsessed with. While it is fiction, The Visible Man is concerned with many of the same themes Klosterman addresses in his celebrated essays: the influence of pop culture, the anxieties of modern life, and more.

The Marriage Plot
by Jeffrey Eugenides
Release date: October 11

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides releases his third novel, about a woman in college in the 1980s who doesn't understand why everyone has given up on romance. It's a love story, but it's also a meditation on reading and why we're drawn to certain stories.
