I plan to read it this summer but I have to buy a copy first.
I'd be happy to discuss when I read it though.

I've already read it, and I don't really want to read it again. It was only a few months ago...

The same day Hank put out that video, I was having a terrible time figuring out what book to read next. Then I watched the video and of course I knew what to do! I hadn't read it before, and I really wasn't sure what it was, other than the fact that it was science fiction.
So far I'm only on page 28, but before I began the book I read the back cover: "The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning, along with the houses in which they were hidden." I realized then I'd heard of this book before. Even just from that excerpt, I could tell it's a great Nerdfighterly book to read.
Buuuut I won't continue talking about it until I continue reading more. :)

I started reading it a few days before Hank announced the book club and finished it the day after...
I liked it very much, though I feel it should have been longer.

Hmm, I don't really feel like it should have been longer. I like it alright, but by the end, I was ready to close it. It's a really smart book and all, but it was just sort of dull to me.

@Colby: Maybe it was a little dull at times, but I would really love to find out more about what happens. The ending was almost abrupt, like, the whole book was kind of slow, and then it just ends in a few paragraphs.
I feel that way about most books, though. ;)

@Marilyn: I think the fact that Farenheit 451 is so realistic makes it just so much more scary, like any good dystopian novel. Even though the world Monday lives in seems far away and a bit alien (and, like you said, it is an extreme example), when you think about it, we are actually quite close to it.
However, Bradbury wrote this book when there was no such thing as the Internet, which of course is a lot less passive than a TV. He probably couldn't even image such a thing; to him, "the future" was basically better TVs.

im starting it right now!

Im reading it now, almost done. I still can't believe how long ago it was written, this book is timeless. The society is very realistic and believeable.

This is definitely one of my favorite (if not my favorite) dystopian novel. I consider it a scary possibility that society as a whole will become mindless, but I think it's accurate that there will always be those people who question and are rooting for change. Ray Bradbury is brilliant
