[image error] - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Philip K Dick.

This book is what the movie Blade Runner is based off of. However, it's really different from the movie too, so worth reading.

[image error] - Uglies - Scott Westerfield.

Supposed to be a "kids" novel, but looked really interesting when I read part of it. It's about society just wanting to be "pretty".

If you click "add book/author" when you go to post something in a discussion that's how I'm getting the links to the books. Also: go here if you need somewhere to start for dystopias. Yay wikipedia.

Battle Royale


My favorite Japanese movie ever is based on this book. I'll do some research to see how well it translates.
