Re: I am rereading Fahrenheit 451
A long time ago...I liked it a lot but I don't remember a lot of the details.
I think the idea of people memorizing books to keep them from disappearing (due to active censorship) is a bit quaint now. I suspect people would just hide them in the memory chips in their calculators now

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: I am rereading Fahrenheit 451
Oooh. I read that this week! :3
I don't like the abrupt ending, though.

The written word being illegal, more like

Re: I am rereading Fahrenheit 451
I read the first 3 chapters a long time ago, but quit because it got too weird.

Re: I am rereading Fahrenheit 451
My dad read some comic version of it recently, apparently he read the real thing a long time ago.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

That could work.... lol.
Yeah, I read it a while ago (well, 3 years but i read A TON so it seems like forever ago). I liked it... and then read 1989 which was really good as well!

Have you read this book?
I read it in English this year. It inspired me to write a Science Fiction/Fantasy novel. Awesome book, you just need to pay really close attention to the writing for it to make sense.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Read it. Good idea, badly presented. He has a confusing writing style.
