Yeah, and I totally loved it!!

1984 > Farhenheit 451> Brave New World > The Giver

Dystopian novels rule! Though rule depressingly...

Wow Pablo.  I think I'd agree with you on those counts, but to me, the latter three novels kinda stink compared to some I've read.  Allow me to HIGHLY recommend: 1. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood 2. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (great Canadian author) 3. The Stand by Stephen King 4. It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis All fantastic dystopian novels by masters.

I'll try to find them, been reading all of them in spanish, so I'm not sure if they're easy to find. But really wouldn't mind reading them in english, that is if they're not very complicated english, something that "bothered" me while reading H.P Lovecraft, not that he's bad or anything.

Thanks for the recomendations, and will advise whenever I get my hand on any of those.

BTW, you read The Giver?

Epignosis wrote: King and Lewis are pretty straightforward American English.  Atwood is Canadian, so has some slightly different words and spellings for certain things (no big deal if you've successfully read Orwell or Huxley). As for The Giver...haha, I've taught English dude.    That was one of the most popular books in my class.

But like I said, I read Orwell and Huxley in spanish

And yeah, about The Giver, before posting I sort-of-imagined that you had read it for school reasons. I read it last year for school.... Good, but lots of cliches from previous dystopian novels(Brave New World/Farhenheit 451), and kinda gets a bit boring in the middle. Still a fine work.

I still have my 25$ Gift Card from Amazon I won here, and seen the prices for some books, and that was the one I checked first and might buy it first also. Then checked out Anthem, and it's 3$!! Though not sure how good or dystopic-alike is it, any of you read it?

Truth.

Makes me wanna read the book too.

'cause usually:

Book > Film

But there are exceptions.

Oryx and Crake = hell yeah

James's sig is full of fail.
