Apple Brings Big Fall Releases to The iBookstore | Free Iphone Store

Readers, rejoice! Fall is here and Apple is celebrating the return of cold weather and variably colored foliage with a ton of pre-order books in the iBookstore, available via iTunes [1] on the computer or through the free app download, iBooks. Here’s a quick peek at what’s on offer, as well as a few we’re looking forward to as well.

Fiction & Literature

Our pick: Stephen King’s 11/22/63 [2] promises to be a fine story from the fertile mind of a master storyteller. King brings us the tale of a time traveler, headed back to stop the assassination of JFK. This one sounds like it will be a classic Stephen King tale with plenty of nostalgia, character development and, of course, terror.

Other Books Of Note:
1Q84
Haruki Marakami – Part dystopian fantasy, part love story.
The Marriage Plot
Jeffrey Eugenides – The author’s first book since Middlesex.
The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern – A fantastical debut about a magical circus.

Biographies & Memoirs

Our Pick: Life Itself, by Roger Ebert [3] , shows the legendary film critic at his peak as a writer and commentator on film and, as a result, of life. Many of the stories here began on his blog, which should be required of any student of film or online writing.

Other Books Of Note:
Seriously…I’m Kidding
Ellen DeGeneres – Ellen on her TV show, getting married, and more.
Shaq Uncut
Shaquille O’Neal – Shaq offers candid thoughts about life on and off the court.
Diary of a Player
Brad Paisley – How the country star became a musician and a man.

Teen Books

Our Pick: Christopher Paolini returns to the Eragon story with Inheritance [4] , the highly anticipated and supposedly final chapter to the series. We’re looking forward to seeing how this one ends.

Other Books Of Note:
Power of Six
Pittacus Lore – The remaining Loric unite to face the Mogadorions.
The Son of Neptune
Rick Riordan – Demigods Jason, Piper, and Leo continue their quest.
Wildwood
Colin Meloy & Carson Ellis – Modern city life meets a magical forest.

Science Fiction and Fantasy

Our Pick: Reamde, by Neal Stephenson [5] – Sure, he made us all read way more than we wanted to with his Baroque cycle, but the author of Snow Crash is back with a new book about a tech entrepreneur caught up in his own online war games.

Other Books Of Note:
How Firm a Foundation
David Weber – Book 5 of the Safehold series
Snuff
Terry Pratchett – Continuing the Discworld saga, one hilariously poignant book at a time.
The Omen Machine
Terry Goodkind – Back again to the world of Richard and Kahlan, facing a new and sinister threat to their realm.
