1. What dystopian literature have you read?
1984
The Road
The Chrysalids
Fahrenheit 451
Harrison Bergeron
The Handmaid's Tale
Parable of the Sower
Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle
2. Which was your favorite, and why?
Harrison Bergeron. The first one I ever read. It sticks with me because of that.
3. Which was your least favorite, and why?
The Handmaid's Tale. At the time it seemed too much like 1984. I don't think that anymore- but it's hard to shake first impressions.
4. Which did you find most disturbing, and why?
1984. The idea of changing a language so completely that one can no longer express anything. That and the ending. That was horrifying.
5. Do you find it hard to read some dystopian literature because it is so disturbing?
Yes.
Don't get too spoilerific in these.
Currently I'm reading Zamyatin's We. Anyone else ever read it? Thoughts?
Nope. What's it about?
Dystopian literature

The problem with post-apocalyptic stories is that there are so many which are utter crap.

I never thought of the Forever War as Dystopian but I guess it could be called that
