Unnecessary Sequels IX: The Unnecessarier!

Joseph Heller would never have stooped to writing a sequel to what is considered by many to be the great American novel. Look, you ignore Closing Time.. It didn't happen. No, it really didn't. I refuse to discuss this further as my head is starting to hurt again.



An ongoing series in which we imagine what Hollywood executives would do if they could raise the deadl. It also provides an opportunity to indulge our love of utterly witless literary references. Grouped by author in no other particular order. And, no, you should really know these. Nothing obscure going on here.

A Tale of Two Suburbs

Littler Nell

Martian Chuzzlewit

The Outsiders: Inside Job


Okay, I'll grant that this one seems like a really good idea. I think we can reimagine Mr. Pecksniff as a hapless arthropod.
