Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury
I reread Fahrenheit 451. It's something I've been meaning to do for a few years now, and I'm glad I did it. The book was so much different than I remember it being when I was 12. But then again, everything is so much different!
There were parts that came back to me as I read, specifically the seashell ear pieces. And, I remember my 7th grade English teacher explaining what a "sieve" is for "The Sieve and the Sand."
Overall, I think there were a lot of important lessons from Fahrenheit 451. Particularly the ridiculousness of predicting society in the future, yet it seems like that's the direction we are heading. While it is not post-apocalyptical , there is something fundamentally different with the US in Fahrenheit 451.
