Fahrenheit 451

[(*]

I read this novel over the past few days. It is one of those books that I was familiar with, but never got around to reading. I'm glad I finally did.

The book captivated me from around the time Clarisse disappeared. I couldn't put it down.

The ideas of censorship are just as prevalent today, as it was in the 50s. What struck me as interesting is that it was the people (society) that wanted to burn the books, not solely the government.


Any thoughts about the book?

I went to three video stores to rent the movie. None of them had it.

When I got home, it was playing on TV.

Very different from the book. I heard that a new one is in the works, with Mel Gibson (not sure if he's acting or directing).
