Dystopian Novels as Literary Mirrors

Reading for pleasure is not one of my past times, I fear. I enjoy it but it is not recreation. I enjoy it because the works I choose tend to be ones that stretch me. I have a strong belief that emotions are a gift and that we - as thinking beings - should stretch ourselves into the uncomfortable places.

What better way of stretching oneself than reading Dystopian Novels?!

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
1984, George Orwell
Animal Farm, George Orwell
Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
Lord of the Flies, William Golding

Also, Apocalyptic Novels...

The Stand, Stephen King
