Never Let Me Go by Kazou IshiguroAwesome book, suspenseful, best dystopian novel I've read. His prose is wonderful and the way he weaves the memoirish story, kept me reading continuously. Not as over the top dystopian as the others I've read, which is why this world was so possible.

One of the first dystopian novels, written in the early 1920s and translated from Russian, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is pretty good. This is a creepy preview of Stalinist Russian, where logic and mathematics rule the society, and the group (we) is more important than the individual. Our main character, D-503, loves his world, but an encounter with I-330, a rebel female, turns his thoughts and world around.
I loved how he used math references for everything, to make sense of what was hapening to him. full review here
I just have The Road left to read, and I'm waiting in line at the library for it now.

I've read both of these and thought both were great, especially Never Let Me Go. Makes me feel like rereading it...
