@neilhimself You should be proud to be in such illustrious company.

I would think you would feel sad if they thought your works feeble enough to not worry about them.

To be in the same league as 1984, Fahrenheit 451, the Handmaid's Tale, and Satanic verses is winderful.

Consider it a mini-Nobel prize.
