Here I thought we could also post more recent dystopian novels that we enjoyed...starting with me then!

The classics I know of:
Fahrenheit 451
Handmaids Tale
1984
Brave New World
A new one I just found in my local library:
Uglies -Scott Westerfeld
Published as a Young Adult novel, I felt this novel covered all the bases of a dystopian fiction, and had quite believable characters.
Part one of a trilogy (have yet to read the other 2) the protagonist Tally, is an Ugly, a 15 year old waiting for her "pretty" operation, which occurs when she is 16. Born and bred to anticipate this moment, the reader realizes that all children hate themselves, and think they are truly ugly until their 16th birthday.
Tally never questions this, until she meets another girl, Shay, who hates the adoration of the Pretties, and who longs to have a choice in the matter. Shay plants a seed of doubt in Tally's mind about the procedure, as all Pretties are not only the same physically, but mentally as well.She escapes to a colony of permanent Uglies, called the Smoke, leaving Tally with the biggest decision of her life.
