Required reading from the week in books.

"Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" is the follow-up to Quirk Books' smash hit, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Next up: "E.M.M.A.," about a matchmaking killer robot. Send us our giant royalty check now, please.

Also in stores this week:
-- "The Lost Symbol," the latest Robert Langdon novel from "Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown, is probably being purchased at an airport this very moment.
-- "True Compass" is the late Senator Ted Kennedy's final memoir.
-- While "Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin" is the life story of a far-less-dignified personality, we give her points for the title.
