I began reading this book when I was a freshman in high school and had to stop after a certain point because the idea of burning books was so depressing at the time and I guess my young, naive mind was not ready for that kind of reality, real or imagined. Fortunately, I enrolled in a Science Fiction in literature class in my senior year of high school and finished the book quickly. Another amazing read.
