Some readers are hasty, grabbing an armful of books off of the library shelf with very little research beforehand. Others pore over bestseller lists or rely on book clubs to carefully decide which book to crack next. For those who fall into the latter category and prefer a little guidance to get their nightstand stack just right, we’ve compiled a (very subjective) list of some of the most exciting-looking book talks coming up in the next few months. These listings do not include the many offerings at Portland Book Festival on Nov. 8 (see page 16 for highlights), but whether you want to bro out at next week’s football author talk at Powell’s or settle into a poetry reading in November—or both—this fall offers plenty for any type of reader.
