I think a sequel to 11/22/63 could work. Instead of stopping the JFK assassination, there could be a more recent event that could be prevented. Or maybe have someone discover the portal and mess with the past. It shouldn't be done any time soon, maybe 10 years from now when more time has passed.

IT should be remade for sure. The original was excellent, but I think a more updated version would go over well.

What if someone could go back in time and prevent 9/11 from happening? That was my first thought when you said "a more recent event".

Good Question Neesy But asking you could go back in Time and prevent 9/11 from happening is basically the same as assassination Hitler if you could. It would change the course of history and perhaps there would be more 9/11 if it was prevented. Did you read in 11/22/63 where he tried to save the girl from being shot and the trouble he had. You cannot change history and if you did, the history you change would be obsolete and whatever you did would be the new history. in time travel anything you do will change the past for instance, if you kill a bird or kick a stone that may have an effect on the history you are trying to change.

Here is a question for you: If you could go back anywhere in History, where would you go?.

I'd like to know what happened to Charlie as she grew and developed her abilities, or not, and how discriminately, or not, she applied them.

This for sure! I just got finished with Firestarter and I don't think any of his other books had such an open ending other than Salem's Lot. I would also love for another rose red movie.

I'd read a Prequel to Pet Semetary, I think with he could do something in depth covering the actual Indians who used the burial ground.

I remember reading a long time ago that Frank Darabont had, at one point or another, considered doing a film version of The Long Walk. I would love for that to come to fruition.

Hmm - back to the time when Jesus was on Earth I guess
(you know - the carpenter from Nazareth?) - I think that is how he is described in one of the Dark Tower books I have read so far.

Interesting that you mention that period. I recently read a book called the Didymus Contingency by Jeremy Robinson which dealt with that very subject. It was really an interesting read.

I really could not think of any other time when I posted that. I am not ultra religious or anything, although I did go to Catholic school from grades 1 to 8. Come to think of it, maybe I would not want to go back to that time in history, as women were treated as second class citizens back then, I do believe.

I should have mentioned that the book was fiction, not religious history. It presented the characters in a different light than you would have imagined. As for women being treated as second class citizens at the time, have things really changed much? Sometimes I wonder.
