Five Books for Back to the Future Day!
In Back to the Future II, Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel 25 years into the future to October 21, 2015 to prevent McFly's future offspring from prison. The film predicted that in 2015, people would use hoverboards to get around and that the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series. Hoverboards have yet to materialize and the Cubs, while currently in the National League Championship Series, are a bit of a longshot to make it into the World Series, currently trailing the New York Mets three games to none.

Oh cool! I didn’t know Michael J. Fox wrote another book!
Sadly, the Cubs won’t be playing for the World Series and it happened on Back to the Future Day. 🙁
What a classic those films are. I always enjoy watching the reruns at Christmas. Some of those books look good, must check them out.
