New Fall Books and Music

There are so many new books and CDs coming up in the next month or so that I have to make a list. In spite of the mass of useless new books on just about every variation of government corruption and analyses on terrorism, there are a seeming ton of interesting new fiction and non-fiction titles. I'll be forced to choose between whisky and books in my luggage returning from London. Note to self: Take a big empty suitcase to London.
