Sweet Home Alabama

To Kill a Mockingbird by Alabama author Harper Lee is an oldie but goodie that you can read (or watch if you want to check out the movie). For a more contemporary list, check out the below. If you think one of these doesn’t belong, let me know your thoughts. Or if you’d like to add a book of your own, submit your suggestion. Remember the book doesn’t need to be explicitly about the state, only clearly set in it and written by someone who actually lived there.

Books are in no order of preference. That they are on this list is not a reflection of my personal taste or even that I’ve read them — I want you to find what works for you.
