What better time to curl up with a good book? Or write one?

Temperatures are dropping, leaves are turning, days are shorter. But that means more time to relax in your favorite chair and pick up a captivating novel or an engrossing history. Let the pages of a good book take you, as Emily Dickinson said, "lands away."

Vincent Graziano’s novel Die Laughing kicks off fall with the Feast of San Gennaro in New York's Little Italy. During this festive fortnight of redemption and revelry, Graziano's characters and chapters transport you back to the eve of The Godfather, to a Mulberry Street on the cusp of change and the birth of standup comedy as we've come to know it. Celebrate autumn in New York with this laugh-out-loud funny but tender tale of an aspiring comic and his zany Italian family.

If you have the good fortune to visit the North Carolina mountains during leaf-peeping season, pick up award-wining author Carroll C. Jones’s evocative Rooted Deep in the Pigeon Valley: A Harvest of Western Carolina Memories. You'll immerse yourself in the folkways of the Smokies and the history of a region rich in characters, events, and natural beauty.

Or if you're inclined to craft a story of your own, did you know that November is National Novel Writing Month? "Thirty Days and Nights of Literary Abandon"—sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Aspiring authors, it's time to get off the fence and head for the keyboard. NaNoWriMo provides tools to help you get started—and maybe even finish. > >Read more about National Novel Writing Month
