Adams. Two great books, but in the end, I prefer the comedy.

I have friends at Hebrew U, you know. Don't rip on 1984.

No frickin' way can a bit of cheesy sci-fi comedy fluff beat one of the most incisive, powerful and thought provoking novels of the 20th century.

C'mon people! Mad

ARGH, I just voted 1984 without reading the thread, only to see that my vote made it EQUAL?!

*joins in the Orwellian outrage*

It shouldn't have even been that close. 1984 either accurately predicts or helps us to avoid a nightmarish future - in either case a book of great importance.
