It’s fall, when the publishing world releases its blockbusters, and the best-seller lists brim with new books.

There are three new titles on the fiction list this week and three on nonfiction, including John Lithgow’s “Dumpty,” a collection of political protest poetry. (Sample verse: “Hentsy Pentsy sat on a fence, / The most vapid and vacant of vice presidents. / A poem? Alas, at the end of the day, / Quite frankly, dear reader, there’s not much to say.”)

Elton John’s “Me,” which our reviewer called “a hairplugs-and-all memoir that pushes the envelope for aging rock star candor,” is at No. 1 for the second week in a row, and Ronan Farrow’s “Catch and Kill,” about the Harvey Weinstein case, remains No. 2.

“Catch and Kill” is written in the first person, and one of the threads running through it is Farrow’s relationship with his sister, Dylan — how he reacted to her story of abuse when he was younger (essentially telling her it would be easier to remain quiet) and how his perspective changed.
