Anyone who reads my blog knows that my favorite fiction genre is mystery novels, particularly detective fiction. Every now and then, however, I’ll pick up a book that piques my interest from one of a multitude of other categories, like the dystopian novel. It could be because quite a few of these stories crossover into different genres, such as science fiction or thriller. Here is another list I’ve found with some of the best dystopian novels written. You’ll notice duplication with one or two other book lists I’ve posted recently. Coincidence? I think not.
