	8	*Fahrenheit 451*	Ray Bradbury	1953	Fiction	As part of the ongoing project of bringing into focus the fuzzy recollections of classic books, I, at best, Cliff's Notes'd, at worst, completely ignored, that were studied in school, this one was particularly rewarding. You obviously have a general idea of what Fahrenheit 451 is about, and the eerie similarities to today's technology dependence and media consumption methods are definitely eye-popping, but what I found most interesting was how succinctly Bradbury tells us where we are going (or in our modern-day readings, where we already are). It's a high concept written by an entertainer himself, which makes the whole thing very exciting and fast-paced. Each major plot hinge comes quickly, one after the other. I really enjoyed it, and in keeping with the spirit of the book, I only mindlessly picked up my phone ten or fifteen times throughout. Reviewed on Monday, November 20th, 2023, 7:35am.

As part of the ongoing project of bringing into focus the fuzzy recollections of classic books, I, at best, Cliff's Notes'd, at worst, completely ignored, that were studied in school, this one was particularly rewarding.
