What are Favorite Parallel Universe Books and Stories ?

[Garfunkel]

It's been ages since I read it, but I remember enjoying The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams, which features the parallel world of Faerie. I had a sick day from school and managed to read, I think, around 450 pages, which is a reading speed I've never even approached since. A shame, really, as with that speed I could actually conquer my vast to-read list...

Infinity Affliction (currently reading it!)

April 2021 Reading discussion

I'm currently reading The Beekeeper o Aleppo, by Christy Lefteri. It is an extraordinary novel, written with courage and compassion at its heart. It is our book group choice. That's why I like a book group, because it challenges you to read something you wouldn't usually read.

I know what you mean , but I tend to regard alternative history, or any story where the world is very similar to our own - but isn't - as a paralell universe.

But 1984 wasn't alt history either, it was dystopian future.

Did I suggest Piers Anthony's Split Infinity series yet? Two parallel universes there - one SF, one fantasy.
