Great African-American Literature

Nice list, Johnny. There are quite a few you've listed that I haven't read.
Some possible additions:
"Their Eyes Were Watching God," by Zora Neale Hurston. It's an great novel and an indispensible addition to black women's writing-- and the African American canon in general.
Also, check out the poetry of Countee Cullen, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Gwendolyn Brooks and Rita Dove ...
And the essays of James Baldwin ("The Fire Next Time," etc.)

A Film (or two) for Every State

A post at triviastic.com claims Fight Club is set in Delaware. The message reads, "...It's cool to me 'cause I live in Delaware and theres nothing significant about it ('cept its the first state... blah blah)."

Unconfirmed, but not bad.

Oh, well done.
For the record, DPS was filmed at St. Andrew's School in Middleton, DE.

First post!

According to a Mr. Showbiz review, Dead Poet's Society IS set in Delaware:

Assuming they have their facts straight, there's some proof for you.
