Fahrenheit+451

= = Fahrenheit 451 - by Ray Bradbury

"Fahrenheit 451-- the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns ..." A bookburning official in a future fascist state finds out that books are a vital part of a culture he never knew. He clandestinely pursues reading, until he is betrayed. Check out the author's webpage at: http://www.raybradbury.com/ "The novel is frequently interpreted as being critical of state-sponsored censorship, but Bradbury has disputed this interpretation. He said in a 2007 interview that the book explored the effects of television and mass media on the reading of literature." (wikipedia.com)
