A Dystopian List
A signed up this year for a Dysptopian Challenge over at Book Journey. I love a good dystopian book, and am aiming for between 4 and 7 books. So far I've been disappointed that I have only read 2, one which was re-read and the other I didn't enjoy. Both were YA reads. So here is a list of others I am considering - maybe this will fire me up! I've chosen them from three sites.
Popular Dystopian Reads on Goodreads
Listverse's Top 12 Dystopian reads
Pop Crunch's The 16Best Dystopian Books of All Time
1. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
2. Wither - Lauren DeStefano
3. The Maze Runner - James Dashner
4. Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood
5. The Children of Men - P.D. James
That's all I picked out from those websites. I left out things that would be re-reads like
The Handmaids Tale - Margaret Atwood
1984 - George Orwell
Neuromancer - William Gibson
That I may or may not end up reading.
So help me out here! What would you recommend? What, in your opinion is the dystopian novel I cannot miss? Please leave me a comment and let me know!
