Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

This is a really good book from what i have read so far I'm about 3/4 of the way through the book and I like it a lot, it is about a man named Guy Montag (I have no idea how to pronounce that) and he lives in a distopian world. Bradbury never really sets a place or time, just some time in the future of 1953 (when the book was published). Books are disregarded in this society, and "firemen" burn any that they found. In the beginning Guys wife has an overdose and she loses his memory. He goes to work one day and he and his coworkers are going to a house filled with books, the lady inside refusing to give them up. with out any of his coworkers seeing he slips a book and he is planing to keep it. Afterwards, the woman would not give up her books so she lit a match and set her self on fire. I'm not going to go into to much depth about this but I think that you should read it, it is a really good book so far.
