I finished reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
It is beautifully written and imagined, and is a bit like my other favorite, A Canticle for St. Liebowitz, which I have read twice.
Fahrenheit 451 is poetic and sparse in the writing, but not in the brutal, totalitarian, anti-intellectual world it depicts.
It's strange that I should be reading it the same week I went to see Book Thief, but these serendipidous things often happen to me.
I had F 451 a long time, but I only started reading it about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
It's definitely a classic and I am going to keep my rather large print copy forever.
