Am I a geek?
Of the top 20 geek novels, I've read only 4, but I've read the top 2 (and the other 2 are between the top 8), so... what is my geek score?

[I've read: "The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and you can give me extra points for reading all the books), "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and, of course, "I, Robot" and "Foundation"]

Edit 1: some other stuff to read when I get some time (stolen directly from the Slashdot discussion):

• The whole "Ringworld" series by Larry Niven
• Something from Ursula LeGuin
• All the Discworld stories by Terry Pratchett (The Colour of Magic is the first book)
• Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
• Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein (yeah, the book -- everyone says it is better than the movie and, as I liked the movie...)
• Inherit the Stars by James P. Hogan

As the list by The Guardian, this list is completely unscientific; just some names I heard before and never got enough time to go after them.
