Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
Montag is a fireman. He burns books which are the source of discord and unhappiness. But Montag is unhappy as there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, pursues all readers.






A terrifying precautionary tale. I think of this book a lot during Banned Books week. One of my all time favorite books.
I just ordered this as Alice Hoffman said it was what got her over her post-9/11 writer's block - it reminded her how important fiction is. Have seen the 60's movie of course, but am looking forward to actually reading it.

No groups are currently reading this book.
