Seasonal Reading

A cool wind has been blowing all day today. The sky is heavy with clouds, there's a familiar smell in the air, and remembrances of all the things I have loved are coming in a rush: books and invented words and chess games and poetry, the smell of wind and rain and damp leaves, cloaks and scarves and boots and sweaters, apples and potatoes and the clink of dishes in the kitchen, walks in golden weather and reading under blankets afterwards;--even Latin verbs and putting on more socks to try to keep my feet warm (nostalgia can be a funny thing sometimes). Autumn is coming soon, and I'm making a list of books to read by the fire or under an open window. What are your favorites for Autumn reading?
