Fall into Reading
We hope you're falling into some great books this autumn (pardon the pun)—and if you're still looking for your next read, we talked with the authors of three of the season's buzziest books. Plus, the Millions revisits Claudia Rankine's Citizen a decade later, and we surveyed some new travel guides and cookbooks. And finally, as always, our editors share their book recommendations.

Herald of a Restless World: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People
By Emily Herring (Basic)
In her biography of the Belle Époque philosopher Henri Bergson, who argued that there is an immediacy to our lived experience that can't be quantified or reduced by science, Herring frames Bergson's thinking as motivated by skepticism of the same kind of overblown techno-optimism that's rampant today.—Dana Snitzky, history and current affairs reviews editorHow to Fall in Love in a Time of Unnameable Disaster
By Muriel Leung (Norton)
For spooky season, I'm intrigued to check out this poet's debut novel, about a New York City lockdown caused by acid rain with some lovelorn ghosts thrown into the mix. One of the ghosts is a cockroach, which, given the insect's indomitability, is a great metaphor for the persistence of love in the time of disaster. —David Varno, literary fiction reviews editorLifeform
By Jenny Slate (Little, Brown)
Celebrity essay collections often feel like phoned-in cash grabs, but Jenny Slate's is more ambitious, and weird, than most, taking a number of creative risks that pay off splendidly. —Marc Greenawalt, science and pop culture reviews editorTop 10 Bestsellers
