:
Someone just made a reference to Fahrenheit 451 to me and I thought of this thread. Has anyone read the book? Are there any hints that they can put together?
(and credit mlg man for mentioning this already)
EDIT: Whoops. Didn't realise it was a double post. Sorry. |
I've read it. Good book actually! The dystopian quality is very similar to Oddworld, if you imagine the characters as goofball aliens.
Spoilers for a sixty-year-old book:
The story is about a book-burner who learns an appreciation for literature, fights against the system and escapes, finding himself in a community of book-loving rebels who have memorised all of the literature in the world—kind of like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli (heh, double spoiler)—and aim to fight back against the powers that be.
I'll read through it again tomorrow and see if I can find anything important. It's been a few years and I've read far too many books since, so nothing stands out in-particular. I'll ask my fiancé too, because she read it only last month.
