Which Big Fall Book Should You Read?

A Flowchart

Fall is the season of Big Books: the mega-hyped, the much-recommended, the written-by-celebrities, and the actually good. And despite the fact that the world is ending even more than usual this season, the books just keep on coming. So how can the discerning, brain-rotted, terminally anxious reader choose which to tackle (first)?

Just like last year, Lit Hub is here to help with a fail-safe flowchart guaranteed to match you to your own ideal Big Fall Book. What you do with that information, well, that’s up to you.
