I was thinking that a post with a Mr. Linky (similar to the Saturday Review of books here: http://www.semicolonblog.com/?p=1904) might be neat--just to provide an easy way for everyone to see all of the book reviews that this challenge will spur.<BR/><BR/>It's just an idea. I'd even be willing to set it up on my book blog if you don't want to fool with it.Mercy's Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289821516382280204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-88159836448052932212007-04-28T19:25:00.000-05:002007-04-28T19:25:00.000-05:00I think everyone who is going to join on this alre...I think everyone who is going to join on this already has, but just in case here is a good source for understanding this genre of literature and dystopian works<BR/>http://www.geocities.com/Athens/<BR/>Delphi/1634/Distopia.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-4891469226937661732007-04-27T08:57:00.000-05:002007-04-27T08:57:00.000-05:00Just letting you know that I finished my first boo...Just letting you know that I finished my first book for the challenge. :)http://dilettantedabbling.blogspot.com/2007/04/canticle-for-leibowitz.htmlCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885265214705764092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-26785514889735068872007-04-24T00:01:00.000-05:002007-04-24T00:01:00.000-05:00Hello all.I don't know about you, but I love liste...Hello all.<BR/>I don't know about you, but I love listening to author interviews. I know some of you have Oryx and Crake on your list and I just found this... http://download.guardian.co.uk/<BR/>sys-audio/Books/Books/2007/04/<BR/>20/MargaretAtwood.mp3<BR/>so I thought I would post it for those who were interested.<BR/>(sorry I had to break up the link so that it would be readable. I will post an active link to my blog as well.)<BR/><BR/>Also I said I would get back to you on another book. It is called Scraps of the Untainted Sky by Tom Moylan. You don't have to worry about adding it to my list because it isn't a dytopic novel, it a whole book exploring the genre. I just wanted to let you all know about it and let you know I would be reading it.<BR/><BR/>MeganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-56225557129982450312007-04-23T11:48:00.000-05:002007-04-23T11:48:00.000-05:00This might be a stupid question, but would The Ste...This might be a stupid question, but would The Stepford Wives fall into this category?
