A close up
Turning to the side
No, I didn't get a tattoo. It's a sticker I made. Also, fun fact: My favorite book is on the bookshelf. If you correctly guess it, you get a prize! (Only one guess per day).
edit: Good guesses everyone! This is my favorite book so far in my life. What can I say? Huxley makes me hot. I feel like I should give a half point to VanGoneWilder for mentioning the author.
Read Huxley's book Island.
this would be a good addition
Island by Aldous Huxley - He didn't want to be remembered only for the dystopian visions in Brave New World, so near the end of his life, he outlined his ideas for a utopian society in this novel. It's amazing - I'm re-reading it right now.
Anyways, having looked over my bookshelf, here are some recommendations purely for the sake of recommending. Maybe not spot on what you're looking for, but why not...
Neverwhere. A book I've read about nine times. Because it's awesome.
Time Traveler's Wife. Kind of established/re-ignited my hope and sense of romance. My father isn't much of a reader and usually takes months to go through a single book, but after losing his wife, my stepmother, he went through this in a week and thanked me profusely afterwards.
Island. I'll tell you right off, it's one of those 'intelligent reads'. The end is proclaimed early, it comes as predicted and it's depressing, but the book overall is nice. You read it first, to check :)
Gates of Fire.
Born To Run. Just read this recently. Fun, interesting, quick.
Obligatory wiki links: Dystopian Literature. Although, some of the titles listed don't seem to fit (The Dispossessed?). Nuclear holocaust fiction, and your general apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction.
Some of the better/more popular ones:
Zombies: World War Z, Raise the Dead, Marvel Zombies, Zombie Survival Guide, Day By Day Armageddon, I Am Legend.
Also, just for kicks, some of my favorite dystopian movies:
Brazil, Soylent Green, 12 Monkeys, Blade Runner, Akira, Children of Men, Dark City, A Boy and His Dog, Logan's Run, Idiocracy, Equillibrium.
