Fahrenheit 451


Do you want to read a scary book? Here it is. It is Ray Bradbury's cautionary near-future parable of a society where books are banned and firemen start fires. I didn't read this 50th anniversary edition, rather probably one of the first paperbacks printed. The book was written in 1950, and it's scary to think of how "some" of what he wrote about is coming true in our society today. Read and weep!
