Hawaii, Texas, Colorado, Maryland, Alaska

Framed has suggested books for five states: "James Michener has written several books about different states that start at the beginning of time: Hawaii, Texas, Centennial (Colorado), Chesapeake (Maryland), and Alaska. I enjoyed Hawaii and Centennial the most, but they are really big books."



Maryland Colorado

All of Michener's books are big books! Good suggestions, thanks.

A few more suggestions (ones I came up with immediately after hitting the Publish button on my last comment)
MARYLAND - anything by Anne Tyler, whose books are so specifically set in Baltimore. For example, The Accidental Tourist
WASHINGTON - Citizen Vince by Jess Walter is set in Spokane
NEW MEXICO - Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather captures the essence of this state

Hello,
I have a couple of suggestions for Hawaii/ The first one,Moloka'i by Alan Brennert, is on my list to be read. The second one is Mr. Monk goes to Hawaii by Lee Goldberg. Hope this is helpful. I could only find the one suggestion here.
