Fahrenheit 451 (by Ray Bradbury)

I’ve seen Ray Bradbury’s novel ‘Fahrenheit 451’ recommended on various book lists, and was aware of the rough premise of the book: a dystopian world where books are illegal, and people burn them.  Apparently the title of the book is the temperature at which books start burning. However it’s not a book I would have chosen to read… until it was allocated for this month’s reading group.

I did order a copy from an online shop but the order failed to arrive and I couldn’t easily find the book locally...
