I have to agree with most of Galactic's stuff, but Maze Runner was boring as shit. I don't think it really added much of anything to the dystopian book landscape, and was in deep danger of falling into incredibly overwrought tropes of special boy hero and beautiful girl prize.
Ready Player One was pretty good.
His Dark Materials is required atheist reading. It's also the reason I'm reading Paradise Lost.
Into this wilde Abyss,
The Womb of nature and perhaps her Grave,
Of neither Sea, nor Shore, nor Air, nor Fire,
But all these in their pregnant causes mixt
Confus'dly, and which thus must ever fight,
Unless th' Almighty Maker them ordain
His dark materials to create more Worlds,
Into this wilde Abyss the warie fiend
Stood on the brink of Hell and look'd a while,
Pondering his Voyage; for no narrow frith
He had to cross.
I'm also currently reading (I have reading ADHD) The Better Angels of Our Nature
For anyone who wants to talk about guns or violence and American society in the international community at large, this is a must read.
