1. What dystopian literature have you read?

Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, The Giver, Handmaid's Tale, Fahrenheit 451, The Lottery, A Clockwork Orange, Atlas Shrugged


Ooh, I do have A Clockwork Orange! And Atlas Shrugged, though I wonder if I'll ever get through that one.

2. Which was your favorite, and why?

I have two favorites - Brave New World because it's very re-readable and great to draw reference to, and The Giver because I read it when I was just a kid and it made a real impression on me.


Yeah, that was one of the first ones I read. It had a more hopeful ending than others, which I liked.

3. Which was your least favorite, and why?

The Handmaid's Tale. I thought it was far less disturbing than it thought it was.


Than it thought it was or than others thought it was? :P


5. Do you find it hard to read some dystopian literature because it is so disturbing?

No, I find most less disturbing than I'd like. I'd like to be more alarmed.


Interesting answer.
