Is there an alternate history writer whose works are based on a world where the south didn't lose the civil war but which take place more recently than 1916?
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Harry Turtledove, maybe? Most of his stuff seems to start with the South winning the war, but I'm not sure how many of those make it past WWI.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think at least some of Turtledove's work did, but I can't remember any titles.

My Dad and I were discussing how the world wars (especially world war 2) would have been different had the south won the civil war. Now I want to read a story that takes place in that world... maybe I'll have to write it myself.

Isn't there a movie with that premise? I want to say The Confederate States of America ? Maybe?

This movie looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for but I'm gonna have to check it out. I'm going to look up Turtledove too. Thanks, guys.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know I read a short story that had, no, the North still won but won faster so the US wasn't so war-weary after and entered WWI earlier. And then there was time-travel. Good story, I wish I could remember the title.

The movie's a bit silly, but not terrible.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm going to Borders after work to buy Midnight's Children, but in order to use a coupon, I need to buy something else. Quick, recommend me books worth owning that I should read.

P-C, have you read The Namesake? I read it for book club and finished it last night. It's about an Indian-American family.
