Harper Lee’s new novel comes out next week. Here are 10 other must-reads by Alabamians

[tps_title]Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe- Fannie Flagg[/tps_title]Flagg’s novel tells the story of two women in the 1980s, of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the midst of a midlife crisis. The tale she tells is also of two women—of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth—who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder.
