Can you tell I took a class on "Utopias in Literature"?
"The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood "Oryx and Crake" also by Atwood "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant "The Lovely Bones" and "Lucky" by Alice Sebold

Salinger "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë "Emma" by Jane Austen "Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare (it's my favorite!)
"Contemporary Fiction" that I love! "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates" by Tom Robbins (GENIUS! You'd love Switters!) "The House on Mango Street" Sandra Cisneros "The Joy Luck Club" Amy Tan "The Woman Warrior" Maxine Hong Kingston and if you can even find it her "Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book" "Like Water for Chocolate" Laura Esquivel "The House of the Spirits" Isabel Allende
