bonus 's review for:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

5.0

---

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

No, no, it's not the books you are looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, in old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. 

"What should’ve been a warning became a mirror."

A highly readable, thought-provoking, and excellently paced dystopian. My highlighter dried-out from so much marking. 

Read for my sixth book club with coworkers.
