Best books? What do you think?

A book blog on Amazon.com, OMNIVORACIOUS, is listing their vote for best books written by authors from or in each state. Naturally Kentucky was a challenge. There are as many books chosen as the state has electoral college votes, so that is eight from Kentucky.

I confess to not having read any of them except Hunter S. Thompson's. I will set myself the task to do so. Although... I'm not sure I need more reason to feel obligated to make changes in my world.
