2020 Reading: Fahrenheit 451

#30 A book that has a book on the cover


I thought I had read this book before a long time ago. Turns out, I had not. SO, this was my first foray into  this story and I absolutely loved it. This is the exact type of book that would have captured my attention in high school like Lord of the Flies or 1984 did. My little 16-17-year-old self would have been spouting poetic about its themes of mass hypnotic suggestion in the media or some such other non-sense. Love.

Still. I really enjoyed reading it now as an adult and think that it is a very important story, especially now. Even today, we need to keep in mind all these ideas of the past and don't let anything destroy them or silence them.
