Just yesterday I wrote about my intention to read more science fiction. As if the devil were playing with it, I was gifted two books for Christmas: Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughthouse-Five and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.

I read a bit in Fahrenheit 451, and the beginning of the book immediately sets the story on fire, which was not meant to be an overly lame pun (the book is about a fireman).

The book has already been filmed twice: in 1966, by Francois Truffaut, and most recently in 2018, by Ramin Bahrani.
