Fahrenheit 451

Another classic novel I kept refusing to read....
This summer found me at a loss. I was reading myself out of hot new bestsellers, and spending too much cash on harcovers, so I decided to take a break from the newbies and start hitting the paperbacks. My first step... The classics that I never got around to reading.
I picked up this book, along with One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, 1984, and The Bell Jar... to name a few.
Ray Bradbury is an interesting writer. I have only read one other novel from him (Martian Chronicles) and I must say that this one amazed me. I was taken in by the fact that he was writing about a future where firemen STARTED the fires, and that literature - the owning and/or reading of - was illegal.
This book is a must read for all those who are in love with reading. For people who are old enough to appreciate this sort of fiction. If i had this book handed to me 10 or 15 years ago, I dont think i would have enjoyed it at nearly as much as I have!
