I commented on that blog post but then realized it's sort of old ... so I'll repeat myself here where I know someone is looking: Those selections are pretty good, but personally I would add Samuel R. Delaney's Dhalgren near the top of any list of dystopian classics.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your previous comment! I haven't read Dhalgren, so guess which Diva just put it on her to-read list? Thank for the tip! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm taking this challenge! I think I've been forgetting to update it though... oops! :D
ReplyDeleteSarah, maybe we can remind each other via Twitter to update? I've gotta go back and see how many dystopian books I've read this year. Really wishing I'd created a "dystopian" tag on my GoodReads! Diva fail.
