    Novels and States

    Something I read earlier triggered it.

    Attach a novel to the state. The most famous or the best or whatever.

    I'll start.


    Alabama ~ Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (because To Kill a Mockingbird is too obvious)
    “Thus it is that no cruelty whatsoever passes by without impact. Thus it is that we always pay dearly for chasing after what is cheap.”

    ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956​

    Alaska ~ White Fang (because I suspect The Call of the Wild is more of a Canadian thing)
    “Thus it is that no cruelty whatsoever passes by without impact. Thus it is that we always pay dearly for chasing after what is cheap.”

      Could we micromanage this idea to regions within a State?

      Otherwise

      Alaska - "Alaska" - Michner
      If it pays, it stays

        If you like. It's just a game.

          Arizona ~ The Andromeda Strain (because I never really got into Zane Grey novels)

                  It's not so much a rule as courtesy to those among us with OCD issues.

                    Arkansas...hmmm...I give up.
                    "Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

                        That's reaching. As if Arkansas would allow something like the Emerald city to exist.

                            Arkansas ~ I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (because The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn really only spends a short time there)
