I'm into stuff like Armaggedon & the end of the world, heaven & hell, etc. Any good books on these things? (Primarily fiction, but I 'spose some non-fiction could provide some entertainment.) | |

GPoints: 37,699 Rep Power: 100 | Uhh I just read this book called The Maze Runner, for some reason I think you'd like it. But it's an advanced copy and I don't know when it comes out. D:
Gathering Blue is set in a dystopia setting, so maybe you'd like that. It's by the same person who wrote The Giver (Lois Lowry).
I'll probably think of more at another time. | |

Looks like the Maze Runner comes out sometime late this year  | |

@Tylerr: Does the book sound interesting to you? | |

GPoints: 4,964 Rep Power: 2 | Uh. I don't know if you would be into this, but theres a TEEN series called Uglies.
The first book is kinda meehh. But the rest are real good.
Its about a future civilization after our time period of people (called Rusties in the book) are killed because of a bacteria that destroy all the oil in the world. It kinda a totalitarian society where everyone is kinda programed. I don't want to give anything away incase you read the book series, but I REALLY enjoyed it and it made me think about the world now.. (:
