Last night I finished The Dog Star(s?) by Peter Heller (I think...I need more coffee). It was on the dystopian list posted much earlier in this thread.
It has no discernible plot. It's more stream of consciousness, which isn't necessarily bad as long as it seems to be going somewhere. While eventually some stuff does happen, it's too little, too late.
I was just hate reading/skimming by the end.
Do not recommend.
I recently read The River by the same author and it's one of the best books I've read in a long time. It definitely had a plot, but it was also an excellent character study, and beautifully written.
But it's not dystopian, so perhaps a double strike for you!
