This is my favorite. The writing is so lyrical and full, it makes me want to quote whole pages out loud. The message is profound and continually relevant, and I find the redemption simple and beautiful. It reminds me that there is always hope, in tiny ways, even in great darkness.

I really enjoyed this book, I especially liked what Faber called three key reasons why books are so critical;
• Quality – providing knowledge and giving understanding to life’s questions.
• Leisure – provides enjoyment and entertainment
• Ability to act on what you learned from the first two

I haven't finished this book. Started reading it maybe 6 or 7 times already, but something always distracts me. I'd love to have this one as a book of the month read somewhere just so I can read it and discuss it and learn to love it like you two!
Would you like us to set it as a individual challenge for you Xeni? Everyone else reads one book, but you have to read 451
Probably Bradbury's best book, Fahrenheit 451 will stand the test of time.
