Essential Boston Reading List

Reading is good, and by extension books are good, and you know we love Boston. So we'd like to build a list of all the great books we can think of that are about Boston or take place in Boston. We're started the list off with some of our own selections, but what we really want is for you guys to help us with the list. If you can think of a book or books that we forgot, leave a comment and we'll add it to the master list.
