Dystopian Challenge
So I said I wouldn't do any more challenges for awhile because A. I never finish them and B. I don't have time for excessive reading at this point. But lo and behold! there is a Dystopian Challenge going on. Did you know there is a blog that is a sort of roundup of lots of different reading challenges? That's how I found Books. Lists. Life who is hosting a little Dystopian Challenge. And it doesn't end until November 6. Q. will be EIGHT MONTHS OLD by then. I can't even imagine.
So since I'm already reading A Canticle for Leibowitz, that's one of my books. I also plan to read:
The Handmaid's Tale, of course.
The Postman by David Brin
maybe re-read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I don't remember when I read this, high school, I think
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Children of Men by P.D. James because I saw the movie last weekend and really didn't like it, but I suspect the book is way better, as is often the case

First I would like to know if Q.'s name really starts with Q?
Second I would like to tell you that you've inspired me to make a list for myself, since I haven't been able to finish any books lately. I thought making a list might help.
:) Actually, her middle name starts with Q. Her first name starts with K.
Speaking of lists, I also think I'm going to put a To Be Read list on my sidebar because I see so many books online that I want to read and then I forget them all. I tried making a paper list to carry with me so I'll have it when I go to the library or a bookstore, but it's never complete. And it gets all ratty and crumpled in my pocketbook.
I'm so glad you're joining us on the challenge, it should be fun!
Thanks for the links--I will have to check them out. As weird as it sounds, I really like Dystopian literature!
