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.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

I loved the movie and have wanted to read the book. It was one of the ones I was thinking of getting. Seems as good a choice as any! Thanks.
