I reckon some cheating went on, I rang up to vote and they had closed the polls early when on TV they said the polls would be open for another couple of hours. | |

They only opened the polls during the show, and closed them at 10:25pm. I voted LOTR (of course - love it) but I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
In the run-up to last night's final, I had been voting His Dark Materials, since LOTR was practically a shoe in the top spot. HDM was the outsider, and I felt like Hitchhiker's Guide would get a lot of sci-fi fans - a large market when you think about it. Haven't read it myself, but I'm going to.
In the end, it was always going to be down to LOTR and P&P. P&P was the critics' and smart peoples' favourite, LOTR was the ring-nuts' and critic-haters' favourite. The question was, who was more passionate? Tolkien fans are known for putting up violent arguments and beat P&P by about 35,000 votes  .
Weird thing is, last night:
I was rereading LOTR (in honour of the ROTK movie)
My brother was reading GOF (cos I made him)
My mother was reading HDM (cos I lent her it)
My friend was reading Hitchhiker's Guide (and I'm gonna ask for a lend of it)
My English class is reading P&P (which I should be doing an essay on now)
Freaky, huh? | |

While I would have loved to have Harry Potter win, a least LotR won! What was the rest of the books? Like the order... or the other books? | |
