Can we rewrite the classics to give the Tale of Two Cities a better ending? If not...then I'll just give it a prequel. I want to learn the history of the amazing Sidney Carton, I want to know what made him who he was. I feel as if ToTC focused too much on Lucy. I want to read a book that is centered on Carton...the end ;)

Well, I, for one, want to see a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. I've always wondered what happens to the other Bennet sisters. Or even how Elizabeth and Darcy's marriage goes after the end. I mean, it couldn't have been super happy....they probably argued quite a bit.
