Not generally a fan of dystopian fiction either. I wouldn't automatically call it SF, though.

I also read This Perfect Day back in the day, though I can't say I remember it too well. I think it was my least-liked Ira Levin novel.

I'm really not so narrow-minded that I've dismissed various genres out of hand without ever sampling them. I did read SF, fantasy, horror, dystopian fiction, and post-apocalyptic fiction a long time ago. With a few exceptions (e.g., I have the dystopian novel Vox on hold at the library right now), I don't want to read these genres anymore because I stopped enjoying them.
