I've read a total of 11 from your lists and I own several others. I'm so excited about your themed February.
It's interesting to see your breakdown of the types of dystopia--that must have taken a lot of thought. The lines are awfully fuzzy; I, for instance, would call Genesis a political dystopia (since it is a political dystopia for the current inhabitants), but I can see why you went with technological! Or an argument could be made for Post Apoclyptic...tricky!
I've read 8.
Shades of Grey didn't make your list?
Very cool list! Given that I have only read 8 of them, looks like I've got a lot of reading to do! :-)
Charlotte - It is so true that the lines are fuzzy with many of them. I just went with my gut feeling, and I am sure that others might categorize one or the other of them differently.
Michelle - Shades of Grey will be added to the list when I review it on Wednesday :)
Wow I have read more than I would have guessed! 5!
Shockingly, I have read a total of 15 books from the two lists and many of them are my favorites... I guess I like all those dystopian futures! I can also list several others not on your lists that I have read and liked. I never knew I liked such negative views of the future...hmmm...guess I learned something! I can't wait to see more of this theme in February.
Oh crap, and here I was giving myself props for getting so much reading done lately! My book list is starting to look like my Netflix queue?!?!
I've read 15 from your reviewed list, and 10 more from your list of other recommended titles. Several others are on my TBR list, no surprise.
Looking forward to Dystopia month!
Yay, dystopia! I've read quite a few of these (18) and have quite a few on my tbr list. I especially want to read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, Jennifer Government, Life as we Knew it, Never Let Me Go, and Candor.
I just recently bought The Year of the Flood by Atwood, which is a sequel of sorts to Oryx and Crake, which if you haven't read it, needs to be pushed to the top of your list. Now. Go. I'll wait.
Love this list, and your breakdown of the types.
I've read... Hunger Games/Catching Fire, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Uglies/Pretties/Specials, The Giver, and 1984. But I'm dying to read Candor, Life As We Knew It, and The Knife of Never Letting Go.
Not enough but I love your list! I'll check out more of them soon. :D
I've read 13 of them (including Hunger Games and Uglies series books separately).
Looking forward to reading all your posts this month. I think it will be fun, in a dystopian way.
This is a super handy list, Lenore! Thanks for compiling it!
Dystopian and post-apocalyptic books are some of my favourite to read so I'm excited for the rest of this month! I've read a total of 15 from both lists, and I already had some others on my wishlist.
Oh, how I love dystopias. I've read 17 from your lists and have been meaning to read several more. I'm happy you chose February to focus on dystopias - it's a nice contrast to all the lovey-dovey nonsense of the month. ;)
Ooh, so much pretty dystopian fiction. I'm in love already. :)
I have read a handful of these, but there are a bunch that are new to me. I am going to look back at these reviews and try to decide which of these others I'd like to read as well. Thanks for posting this, it's awesome!!
It is certainly interesting for me to read that post. Thanks the author for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. I would like to read a bit more soon.
Best regards
Alice Tudes
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
I am so sad I missed the whole month! I have read 18 total from both lists. I look forward to August for another dystopian month!
If I counted correctly, I've read 30 on your list.
"Genesis" by Bernard Beckett blew my mind. Realizing what was actually on the cover... Mind blown!
When I read 'The Passage' by Justin Cronin I didn't know this was part of a trilogy and I could have screamed in frustration when I finished the book and read an Q&A at Amazon that the next book may be out in _2_ years.
I love this genre and the list you put together, I'm gonna use it as a reference for my to-read list.
Oh my word, I've read 29 of these! Plus another 8 that you don't have listed, some of which are parts of series you listed.
If loving dystopian/post apocalyptic lit (esp. YA) is a disease, I must be infected!
I haven't read too many of these, but I guess that just leaves more room for exploring!
Without having read A Clockwork Orange, but knowing a bit of it's plot, I'd say it's a medical dystopia more than anything. Alex, to be conditioned out of his violent tendencies, is subject to therapies we would see as very controversial. That might be stretching it though.
As for Brave New World, I'd call it more of a social dystopia than a political one. John's demise comes not from government blocks, but from his inability to understand why society functions the way it does, and that people are happy with lives he sees as disgusting.
