Good list, Steph. #4 is a good choice. See if there's any trauma from his early childhood.
November 23: Characters I’d Love An Update On (Where are they now that the book is over?)
1. She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
• Jack Speight - did he ever get caught and put in jail because he tried the same sh++ with a different girl? Did his wife ever leave his ass?
• Dolores - at the end of the book she's trying to have a baby with Thayer. Are they able to conceive?
2. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
• the house is a character, imo. Does anyone ever bulldoze that evil home?
3. The Secret History by Donna Tartt, they all end up in a pretty dismal place but:
• Charles - does he ever get his alcoholism under control?
• Camilla - does she ever start to build an actual life for herself instead of just being a caretaker?

7. The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

8. Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
• Angel, he never deserved Tess. He came to his senses too late. Does he get remarried, learn from his past mistakes, and appreciate his second wife in a way he never appreciated Tess?
• Alec.....freakin' Alec. Like Jack Speight, does he ever pay for his crimes?
9. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
