I have read some of these- obviously The Hunger Games, which started my love affair. The Giver, Handmaid's, Unwind (such a favorite!)... but now I obviously must check out the rest. I just read a book called The Wanderers by Chuck Wendig and apparently people are comparing it to The Stand so guess I better read The Stand, huh? LOVE this list!
