We talked about reading a banned book for next meeting and decided on Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Whether you read it a long time ago in high school and want a refresh, or missed out on the classic novel, we hope to see you at our next meeting!
The meetup was charged the 6 month fee again recently and it's even more expensive now too, so I appreciate any contribution on funds, especially if you haven't in a while. Thanks so much! You're welcome to bring cash or my venmo is Tobias-Roth-2
The description reads:
Sixty years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
