Here we go!

Eragon vs. Animal Farm

Eragon- The first in the Inheritance Trilogy, and my personal favorite so far. Haven't finished Brisingr just yet, but I'm almost there. About a young farm boy who is thrust into adventure, when he finds a dragon egg. Soon he is traveling all across Alagaesia to try and stop the evil king.

Animal Farm- Overview from Wikipedia:
The short novella is an allegory in which animals play the roles of the Bolshevik revolutionaries and overthrow and oust the human owners of the farm, setting it up as a commune in which, at first, all animals are equal; however, class and status disparities soon emerge between the different animal species(the pigs being the "greater species"). The novel describes how a society's ideologies can be manipulated and twisted by those in positions of social and political power, including how a utopian society is made impossible by the corrupting nature of the very power necessary to create it.

Going with Eragon. I liked it enough...

 

[jph139]

Ooh, I've been looking forward to this. Too bad I haven't read most of the books.

Hmm... Animal Farm, because I've always wanted to read it, and really disliked Eragon.

 

[Bloody Marquis]

Animal Farm. Never read Animal Farm (though I have heard a great deal about it), but I thought Eragon was awful.

 

[Zekehawk]

Animal Farm.

 

[Jave]

Animal Farm. Very, very good book.

 

[Prof. Mecavio]

"Animal Farm" is a great book, so that one has my vote as well (not to mention that I've never read "Eragon").

 

[Charles Chimag]

Animal Farm is a good classic. George Orwell does great things.

 

[The Cartoon]

Animal Farm, even though I love them both.

 

[soundmonkey44]

Animal Farm hands down! its a classic, and one pretty smart book as well!

 

[Radical Raven]

Animal Farm. Eragon is an O.K. sword-and-sorcery type thing, but... it just borrows so much from Star Wars.

 

[Daxdiv]

Animal Farm. Animals representing Communist Russia has never been more funny that that.

 

[Gold Guy]

Eragon.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Animal farm, because god dang was the title misleading.

 

[Comics_the_QB]

Animal Farm wins 11-2

Next up:

Ishmael vs. Slaughterhouse 5

Ishmael: Ishmael is a half ton silverback gorilla. He is a student of ecology, life, freedom, and the human condition. He is also a teacher. He teaches that which all humans need to learn -- must learn -- if our species, and the rest of life on Earth as we know it, is to survive.

Slaughterhouse 5: a novel by Kurt Vonnegut . One of his most popular works and widely regarded as a classic, it combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device.

Tough, but I'll go with Ishameal.

 

[The Cartoon]

I'll go with Ishmael

 

[Bloody Marquis]

Slaughterhouse 5.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Slaughterhouse 5.

Ill second that!

 

[Comics_the_QB]

Tie...

 

[chdr]

Gonna have to go with Slaughterhouse 5.
