A call for book recs

[stillsostrange]

I would like suggestions for good books (or shorter works) set in Boston. Particularly ones that give good place-porn. I'm partial to spec fic and mysteries, but any genre is up for grabs if it's readable.

I've always wondered which university Big U is based on, it always reminded me way too much of the Towers dorms at Iowa State in Ames.

They went to BU. Casimir is not a version of my father, but you'd recognize the character if I showed you a photograph from the right era.
