What did you think of Fahrenheit 451?

I just finished reading it. I think its prophetic of what happening now.Newspapers are going out of print, t.v. is starting to resemble 3-d walls, education is less and less
personal etc.Maybe the rebirth of the intellect will once again come like a phoenix
from ashes of a dark age or bombed out town.
I am waiting for the day when all books are considered evil.
I don't think it's prophetic at all. Yes, today books made of paper are being replaced by a more environmentally friendly, less bulky, and more communicative technology. However, reading and writing are not going out of style. Quite the opposite, the new technology is spreading the written language to people and places where paper and ink could not reach.
If a simple discussion of a book triggers your Obama hate fit, you've been rather severely brainwashed. Best lay off the politics a while, and learn to smell the flowers.

Try here for the IB reading list that I am exploring.
From that list you shared, thank you by the way for sharing the link, I have read 24 of them, one was just for pleasure, five were on the required reading for middle school and the rest were required reading in high school and college.
I was just kidding. It was just a joke. I loved the book and I was sad to hear Ray had died.
