“There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.”

Welcome to America. In this society, we outlaw books and use firemen to burn any lingering in homes. Fahrenheit 451 is a frightening image of a future American society that looks exactly like this. The government encourages ignorance and discourages complexity in all forms. I thought I’d like this book much more than I did, but it was enjoyable. This novel is a priority read considering the state of book bans worldwide.
