Best novels about each state

Cam across a FB link to a site callled something like quiklit, which right now is running its list of books about each of the 50 states. A very cool idea. I can't possibly recommend all or even many of these books, but it does inspire me to think about a (partial) list of books about (some of) the states; I don't think my list will have any overlap with theirs:

Alaska: Adventures in the Alaskan Skin Trade. John Hawkes
California: The Crying of Lot 49. Pynchon.
Florida: Their Eyes Were Watching God. ZN Hurston
Illinois: The Adventures of Augie March. Bellow
Iowa: Shoeless Joe. Kinsella.
Louisiana: The Moviegoer. Percy.
Maine: It. King
Maryland: The Floating Opera. Barth.
Massachusetts: Moby-Dick.
Michigan: The Feast of Love. Baxter.
Mississippi: The Sound and the Fury
Missouri: The Corrections. Franzen.
Nebraska: My Antonia. Cather.
New Hampshire: Continental Drift. Banks.
New Jersey: American Pastoral (agreeing with quiklit here).Roth.
New York: The Great Gatsby
North Carolina: Look Homeward, Angel. Wolfe. 
Oregon: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Kesey.
Pennsylvania: Rabbit, Run. Updike.
Rhode Island: Providence. Wolff.
South Carolina: Edisto. Powell.
Texas: Lonesome Dove. McMurtry.
Utah: The Executioner's Son. Mailer.
Vermont: My Secret History. Tartt.

All are novels; no repeats by author. I'm sure I will revisit, maybe fill in the blanks or recollect books that I'd forgotten that will bump others off the list.
