I hope the title of this list is self-explanatory enough.
Some ground rules:
1) I would prefer that the book was fiction.
2) I would prefer that the bulk of events in the book take place there, e.g. not just a few scenes, which also means that the book should NOT mention the college in title alone.
Of course, you can argue for exceptions to the ground rules, if you like, i.e. please don't let my silly ground rules stop you from mentioning books which might spark others imaginations.
Recommendations are welcome!
I loved Fool on the Hill. I'm hopefully reading his latest sometime soon.
Galatea 2.2 and The Goldbug Variations both take place mostly at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. But I'm not sure if it's ever mentioned by name.
