Bookbabble Episode 53: There’s A Sequel For This?

Recorded 16 Nov 2009
Babblers: Bjorn, Marcel, Renee, Donny

Synopsis:

We are so agreeable with each other on this episode.  The group clobbers each other with this one: should classic works have sequels?  What would we consider as a sequel?  Which ones were good, not good, and shouldn’t have been written in the first place?  Dracula, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Gone with the Wind, Winnie the Pooh, JD Salinger, Shakespeare and many others get dragged into this debate.
