	Minitruth, Minipax, Miniluv and Miniplenty should be accepted for the Ministries, and BB should be accepted for Big Brother. Maybe accept "prole" for "proles" too.

	I read this book years ago, yet still got 16 right, shows what a good book it is when I remember that much.

	I just read this book a few months ago and somehow missed Goldstein and O'Brien.

	If I put in Eastasia I also get credit for Eurasia, but not the other way round.

	Good quiz! I love this book, but I haven't read it in a few years...

	tlchi:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 18:14 GMT	10 points
	Plusgood quiz! Thinkpol should be accepted for Thought Police -- not sure it actually appears in the novel proper, but it's used as an example of B-vocabulary construction in the appendix "The Principles of Newspeak". Goodthink might also be acceptable as a synonym for Doublethink.

	Those combinations of words are a lot like those used in the USSR, like Agitprop and Komsomol. I wonder if Stalin knew about the book that is so clearly about his state.

	Play it now before Amazon takes it away.

	His name is O'Brien, I would be against accepting O'Brian.

	thelargeone:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	7 points
	It's neat that it accepts both the author's real name and his pen name

	caramba:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	2 points
	25 years since I read it so only 13. Think I'll pull out my copy as it is a great book if so much sticks after all these years...

	I'll drink a bottle of Victory Gin to this, brother. Doubleplusgood, comrade.

	millandas:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	2 points
	GREATEST. BOOK. EVER.

	Uhlan:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:26 GMT	-2 points
	Rats, cabbage smell, Victory Gin and Victory Mansions could all be answers, but nevertheless, a great quiz. Perhaps more like this, maybe on Bond or Harry Potter.

	My favourite book!

	ThurinEthir:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	6 points
	Strangely enough, I finished the book last night.

	y2jdilemma:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	1 point
	My all time favorite book. Love the quiz!

	imirishx33:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 20:47 GMT	2 points
	I thought the youth organization was called "Junior Spies" or something along those lines? not "The Spies"

	He loved Big Brother.

	DerKomissar:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz! I literally just finished this book, and it is already one of my favorites.

	Dodge:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:25 GMT	2 points
	I remember reading this in sophomore year of high school, it depressed the hell out of me, but still a great book.

	AndyF:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:40 GMT	3 points
	Great book. Remember that, "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

	Detektor:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:54 GMT	10 points
	My favourite quote in literature: Winston: "Does [Big Brother] exist in the same was as I exist?" O'Brien: "You do not exist."

	BuggritHall:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	0 points
	One of, if not the, greatest novels. Good quiz though trying to be smug and entering miniluv,minipax et al just wasted time!

	threepwood:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 22:13 GMT	2 points
	@ ThurinEthir: Strangely enough, that makes two of us. What a weird coincidence! I finished reading the book only few hours ago...

	ipitydafoo:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 22:27 GMT	1 point
	Please accept Two Minutes of Hate as well. Thanks!

	DerekH:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 23:48 GMT	2 points
	"Ministry of" - oops! - remembered truth and peace, forgot "Ministry"... More importantly, this book taught me something about HOW to think, rather than subject matter...

	"Oranges and lemons", say the bells of St Clement's - "You owe me three farthings", say the bells of St Martin's - "When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey - "When I am rich", say the bells of Shoreditch - Here comes a candle to light you to bed - Here comes a chopper to chop off your head!

	radish:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 00:09 GMT	2 points
	One of my three favorite books and I only got 50%, I missed two or three answers because I read it in spanish, which is my first language.

	I thought it was Ignorance is Bliss.

	GrooGruxKing:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 02:27 GMT	1 point
	I am disappointed in myself. I had to study this book for school 3 years ago, yet I could only manage 4 answers, not even the protagonists name.
