@mediabistro #mbchats Which classic novel do you wish had a sequel?

@JennSmith_Ink William Golding's "Lord of the Flies"

@AmyMeganJones Definitely The Great Gatsby -- it is the perfect novel. Not sure where the plot could go, but it should never end

@CLC_NY Great Gatsby!

@courtneylandi Instead of a sequel, wish The Catcher in the Rye had a prequel about Holden's brother Allie & the rest of his family dynamic

@VictoriaBaldos NONE. Sequels are usually terrible, especially movie versions.
