Dystopian Novels

While looking at LibraryThing I cam across this article on the popularity of dystopian novels.

Now, I have enjoyed reading books that fit into this genre for a long time. There is something, as the article suggests, about reading stories that deal with the end of civilzation as we know it. When I was younger it was about picturing how I would survive in the worlds created by the author's of htose books. It seems that the popularity of such books as The Hunger Games have launched a love of similar books amongst teenaged readers.

I am pleased to announce that the SAM Library has a fair number of the books mentioned in the article as a part of our collection. Why not try one of them, if you haven't already?

Here is a list of some of the Dystopian titles in our collection:








Drop by the Library and I can suggest even more possibilities.
