I didn't want to mess with the classics!<br /><br />Jenny - I seriously could not come up with a third and then followed the same thought process as you did with ICtC! I decided to add it because I really had nothing else but I also would love to spend more time with the characters.<br /><br />Paige - A totally different list would be authors I wish could have kept writing forever.<br /><br />Cecelia - Thanks! House of Many Ways is a great one for having more of Sophie and Howl but in a different way. I want the Sophie and Howl of the first book!<br /><br />Diane - It's daunting but well worth reading when you have time to really immerse yourself in it.<br /><br />Jenners - It was probably the hardest one to answer so far. I could think of reasons why most books should not have sequels though!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-76165190888790478402010-06-26T18:19:39.619-07:002010-06-26T18:19:39.619-07:00I love this question but I'm still stymied.I love this question but I'm still stymied.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-77535972742240010632010-06-25T04:11:10.246-07:002010-06-25T04:11:10.246-07:00Jonathan Strange is one of those books that have s...Jonathan Strange is one of those books that have stayed on my shelf too long unread.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-41306342609965629242010-06-24T14:33:43.231-07:002010-06-24T14:33:43.231-07:00Nice list!

I love those characters like crazy, but the book feels so complete in itself.<br /><br />...Now that I am thinking about it, I would really love to spend more time with those characters.<br /><br />But no! I officially don't wish to have a sequel.

There are plenty of authors I wish had written more books - Jane Austen goes to the top of that list, but not too many I want to read sequels to - most books have a definite ending, some of those endings I hate, but it's not a sequel that's needed in that case, it's a rewrite! Having said that, I'm very glad Margaret Atwood wrote <i>The Year of the Flood</i> - it's not a sequel, really, it's a companion book, it's in parallel to <i>Oryx and Crake</i>, but it's far more hopeful and positive. The first book leaves you feeling really depressed, this one, finally, dispels that feeling.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.com
