After my first half-week of teaching and a wonderful birthday weekend spent with family, I thought I would return to my blog to post these funky pictures of bookcases I found at a blog devoted to the appreciation of book covers. I stumbled onto it trying to find some information about the book cover shown here:
Scott gave me Margaret Atwood's Oryk and Crake for my birthday and I as have begun reading it, I am reminded of how much I love dystopian literature - these being a few of my favorites:
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Children of Men by P.D. James
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
**Personally, I think you should read Thomas More's Utopia to appreciate them!
So, without further ado, enjoy these photos of unconventional storage for books, taken from {http://covers.fwis.com/}





Have you read that new novel by Upton Sinclair? I believe that it's called 1984. It's a wonderful overview of a dystopian society in the lower French Quarter during the eighteenth century. I think that you would really love it!

(Good to read your blog!)
Thanks Joyce! Are you thinking Upton Sinclair's The Jungle or George Orwell's 1984? Both provide different depictions of dystopian societies! Enjoy reading : )
