Al I took it for A' level English, but got a really horrible question about religious references.
Margaret Attwood is an interesting lady, though :)

Noah My favorite Margaret Attwood's novel is "Lady Oracle". Fantastic book.

Noah Thank you for the answer, Steelwhisper. No, I haven't read "George", but I'll certainly check it out. :)

Steelwhisper No need, really. I thought this was a reaction to some reviewers likening it to Atwood's worldbuilding. It wasn't my aim, though, as I explained in my Author Review on 'George', though of course Atwood's novel can't be "unread".

Noah Steelwhisper, what are your favorite dystopian novels? I'm really interested in reading more on the subject, but I'm not sure where to start? I'd appreciate it if you could give me some recs.

Steelwhisper I'm afraid I have read few of the modern ones. I'm a huge fan of "Fahrenheit 451", also of "Malevil" and "Les hommes protégés". Next come such works as "V for Vendetta", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", "A Clockwork Orange" and "Slaughterhouse-Five".

I must say I've not really caught up with the recent deluge of Dystopian books.
