Only 10.

And how is Arthur C. Clarke missing from the list?

If Pratchett makes is, how is The Hobbitt not there?

I'm pretty surprised more people haven't read Illuminatus!, that was a great book. Schroedinger's Cat was awesome too.

Ask The Guardian, not me.

Personally, I've only read 1984. I was never into reading Novels. I think I discovered the internet before I would have been interested in any of these and just read all the random [censored] on the internet that I could find.

I was sweating cos it was 'yes' for the first 9. Didn't have any more after that though.

Does that mean I'm not a geek?

I don't think Brave New World and 1984 are 'geek' novels at all..maybe that's just me.

Put the LOTR books in there : )

Only one for me, Brave New World because we were forced to read it in High School.
