The Reading Passport: Books set in Alabama

Besides the literary claim to fame of Monroeville, the hometown of Harper Lee and Truman Capote, there are several other reasons why Alabama should be in your literary travels. I hope any of the following twelve books inspire you to take the trip to the state where the first 911 call was ever made and where it is illegal to wrestle a bear or play dominoes on Sundays. Happy travels!
