Which book is better... Ayn Rand's Anthem, or George Orwell's 1984

I've read 1984 twice, and am in the process of reading Anthem...

Both books are similar but from a different perspective...  One from a more Socialist perspective (1984) and one from a more Objectivist perspective(Anthem)

Enquiring minds want to know!

Tough question, primarily because I can hardly remember Anthem - since I read it in 7th grade.  I remember that the book really disturbed me.  As did 1984, but 1984 was just so much more fascinating.

Oops...  I guess when I busted my polling cherry, I forgot to put it in the right place. LOL

Why? 1984 was a captivating tale of courage and love.
