It was a pleasure to burn.
This chilling opening line starts Ray Bradbury's sci-fi dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. Read and discuss it with us on Friday, October 24th at 3pm!
Fahrenheit 451 follows Guy Montag, a fireman. Except, in Guy's world, firemen don't fight fires... they start them, specifically to torch forbidden books (and the houses where they're hidden). He gradually becomes disillusioned with his career in censorship enforcement, though, and starts to hoard a few books himself...
You can pick up a copy of the book at the downtown library's Information & Reference desk.
And join us on Thursday, October 9th at 5:30 pm for a screening of the 1966 film adaptation! (It's unrated and runs for 1 hour, 52 minutes.)
