I read Ray Bradbury's classic this weekend and loved it. The setting is depressing and the ending is even more tragic but has enough hope in it to make a great story. Anyone else read it? What did you think?

...birds creep over tin roofs, like criminals with tap shoes...
I Hear Thunder

I started with farenheit 451 and loved it immediately! <3
From that moment on that man enchanted me, have read a few more of his books, and i recommend everything you can get your hands on ;D

To me, as a booklover the act of burning a books is condemnable, and should grant you a punishment. XD
And to be a bit paranoid, that screen the fire-fighters wife is living through, isnt todays tv-games moving in that direction?

But Theres No Rain
...stain the glass with windows, extortionate and cold stare...

i thought the same thing when i read it... it's so disturbing when older writers (like bradbury) are spot on with their predictions, make me worry that 1984 might come true eek

I really enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago. I should reread it soon. I have not had the pleasure to read anything else written by Bradbury, but I look forward to trying out his other books.

If you could be like the people at the end and are able to commit to memory one book, what would that book be?

I loved it! I've read it a couple times and it never fails to grab me. I too need to read more by this author. I think I would really enjoy more of his writing style.

Wouldn't it be Ironic if the book I remembered after apocalypse was Fahrenheit?
