If the State's position on books depicted in this novel becomes reality (does it really seem impossible?) then this site becomes firewoodswap.com.

As an ardent reader, Fahrenheit 451 is scary. I did not read this book until I was an adult, so its impact was powerful. Can you possibly imagine a world without books?

This book talks of censorship and social control; something we should all be concerned with, given the current Administrations obsession with the faux "War on Terror" and it's resulting diminishing of free speech and our constitutional rights. The title is what Michael Moore based his "Farenheit 911" film on.
A must read for anyone who wants to put a historical context into the current zeitgeist of paranoia and illegal wiretapping!
