Say you adore Guerlain Shalimar’s feel of silk velvet amber and stained glass, but its lemon is too sharp or its civet turns your stomach.

Reliable sources tell me winter is coming, but it’s not here yet and I would like to talk about books. Can we try a fall reading list? Three reading polls a year does not seem excessive to me, but do feel free to complain in the comments. (And our fall television / movies poll is coming up soon too.)
So, please recommend a great book to add to our fall reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it…
