Midwest fiction

I agree with most of this list ("10 of the Best Books Set in the Midwest"), with two exceptions having nothing to do with quality, but location: Pollock's book is set in Appalachia (West Virginia and southern Ohio) and Erdrich's in the Great Plains (North Dakota). Of this list, I've read Winesburg, Ohio and The Jungle, and still want to read Stoner, Gilead and (maybe) Middlesex. (Julie was pleasantly surprised when she read Freedom earlier this year, but I have no interest in it.)
