Sure, most of these authors are no longer alive, but it’s OK to dream. Inspired by the Harper Lee news.
Pride & Prejudice
Why: Um, because we spent the entire book waiting to see Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy get together and now we don't even get to read about the rest of their magical lives together? IS THIS A SICK JOKE?
Suggested Title: Love & Loveliness.

The Catcher in the Rye
Why: It'd be cool to see Holden grow up! We could see him figure himself out and maybe even be happy? Or he can continue being crabby and angsty — it doesn't really matter, because his narration is addictive and there should be more of it in existence.
Suggested Title: The Pitcher in the Rye
1984
Why: It's a powerful and scary book and we learned our lesson about privacy and government surveillance. Now can we please have a good old-fashioned uprising led by an old Winston and Julia who've somehow overcome all their emotional trauma?
Suggested Title: 2015
Via amazon.com
The Color Purple
Why: This book ended on such an uplifting note, and it'd be nice to see Celie's life with her family by her side.
Suggested Title: The Color Magenta
