I grew up and was attended college at the time in the Midwest (Minnesota) when I first picked up the book, and, as you probably already know, a good chunk of the book takes places in Minnesota and Wisconsin...something I completely ate up at the time. I even took a road trip with some friends to "House on the Rock" after reading the book.

Quite a fun trip, if only I could remember more of it....
