Pre-Order the Best Books of the Fall!

This fall has more amazing titles coming out than any publishing season in memory! We want you to know you can get these books from Greenlight, and we also want to pass along the buzz about just a few of the upcoming highlights of the season. The list below has some titles to look forward to, and the release date when they'll be available in the store.

When you click to pre-order, be sure to include in your message: 1) how many copies you want to reserve, 2) your first and last name, 3) the best way to contact you (phone number or email address).

You don't need to pre-pay; we'll reserve a copy (or copies) of the book of your choice, and contact you as soon as it's available. Then you can tell us whether you'd like to pick up the book in the store, or have it delivered or shipped. Email Jessica if you have any questions.


September 15: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
The long (long) awaited follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, this book will be the hot ticket at every bookstore in town. You could get it anywhere, but wouldn't you rather get it from your local independent bookstore?

September 22: The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood
A sequel to Atwood's powerful Oryx and Crake but one that can be read independently, Year of the Flood promises more of Atwood's literary imagining of a post-apocalyptic world.

September 22: Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro (a Rebecca favorite)
Ishiguro is a master of interpersonal nuance and finely observed details, from Remains of the Day to Never Let Me Go. This collection of short stories is linked by the themes of night and music, and is already inspiring passionate adoration in the author's fans.

September 29: Generosity by Richard Powers (a Jessica favorite)
This highly original -- potentially life-changing -- novel by the National Book Award-winning author of The Echo Maker is essentially about happiness, and the Algerian refugee at its center is a believable saint for our times.

September 29: Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
The Time Traveler's Wife is a big movie this fall, and Niffenegger's success is highly deserved. Grab the newest work by a new beloved author -- lots of buzz on this one!

October 6: The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt (a Jessica favorite)
A novel that's part social and artistic history of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, part steamy multi-generational soap opera, part fairy-haunted ode to the power of myths and legends, and all told with a consummate storyteller's skill at characterization and suspense. This one will keep you up night!

October 13: Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem (a Jessica AND Rebecca favorite)
Lethem, one of our favorite local authors, described this book as "a Saul Bellow novel that gets taken over by H. P. Lovecraft," and we like that definition. Set in a New York that's not quite our own, it's epic and funny and clever and sad and odd: Lethem at his finest. Read it and find yourself inhabiting a slightly stranger and more meaningful world.
BONUS: Jonathan Lethem reads from Chronic City at Greenlight on November 5! Reserve your copy now and pick it up on the release date or at the event.
