I'm nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

I found "A Canticle for Leibowitz" an astounding read. More apocalyptic than dystopian, but solid.

I finally read it not long ago, and it was really interesting! Especially given how long ago it was written, seems like it established a lot of the themes you see in modern post apocalyptic media.
