Okay, I have read:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Into the Wild
The Bean Trees (perfect choice for AZ)
The Shining
Their Eyes Were Watching God (for me FL would be something by Elmore Leonard, but I get this pick)
Gone With the Wind (GA. Yeah, duh, lol)
The Jungle
A Thousand Acres
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Uncle Tom’s Cabin
A Confederacy of Dunces
Carrie
Walden
The Sound and the Fury
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
My Antonia
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Hotel New Hampshire
The Great Gatsby
The Lovely Bones
My Sister’s Keeper
The Secret Life of Bees
The Secret History
Little House in the Big Woods
I was an English major, so a good number of these were required reading.
The one I’d change is NC. Nicholas Sparks? No. I’d rather see anything by Thomas Wolfe, preferably Look Homeward Angel or You Can’t Go Home Again.
