1-11-09 Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - Fiction

5 - Basically this is a horror story for book lovers. It is illegal to own or read books. Firemen don't save your home, they burn your books, inside or outside, with or without you. The world has turned into a bunch of drooling idiots who are captivated by TV and are waiting for war. Everything is supposed to be shiny and happy. But for book lovers, people who love rhyme and meter, emotion and metaphor, there is no where to go but the wilderness outside the cities. And their only job, their only purpose, is to remember. Remember poems, books of the bible, novels, so that one day, when the war is over and the world starts over again, they can share their knowledge and maybe, just maybe, their favorite tales can be put into book form again to be shared with everyone.
