Have you heard of wikigroaning? It's a game where you find two wikipedia articles and compare their length and depth to one another, and shake your head at the emphasis placed on certain articles.

For example, look at Jedi Knight's wikipedia article and compare it to Knight. The article linked above has a few more choice entries:

• Modern warfare vs. Lightsaber combat
• IRC vs. Prom
• Video Games vs. Girlfriend

Well, you get the idea.

Anyways, with all this Harry Potter talk, I decided to read the wikipedia article; I ended up reading the whole ending scene and it seemed pretty ... uh... uninteresting (given that I've never read a Harry Potter book).

I decided to do a wikigroaning comparison of the latest Harry Potter book against my favorite books:

• Losers: Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World, Little Prince, All of Hemingway's works, Plato's Republic ...
• Winners: 1984

(my new usericon seems very fitting right now)
