The best work of fiction I have read in a very long time: True Grit, by Charles Portis. It is no less than a classic, filmed versions of the novel, good and bad, being altogether irrelevant.
Best Midwestern gem I had not previously visited: Iowa City, where the University of Iowa is well-served by a stately campus, an international faculty, a talented student body, and more charm than a city of less than 30,000 has any right to possess. Wonderful place.
