Thanks for linking to this. I love dystopian novels. This seems like a list of mostly classics, but I will have to go through it and see what I haven't read so far.
Hmm, regarding novels on that list, I am not sure that I would consider Never Let Me Go particularly dystopian. My sense of the dystopian is that evils of the society are visited upon most of the people in that society, just as utopia is good for all. In Never Let Me Go, the sufferers are an exploited minority, not the society at large.
If you hate slide show lists, like I do, you can see the list on one page here:http://brightlightbooks.wordpress.com...
