An extraordinary book has been written about, or set in, every single state in the country — including Washington, D.C. These novels, which range from contemporary fiction to classics to childhood favorites, bring these places to life in such a way that reading them can almost transport you there.
We selected the best books based in every state by looking for titles that almost use their state as another character. The setting is so deeply entwined with these texts, the story couldn't even exist in another place or time.
