I'm obviously reading Fahrenheit...and I'd just like to say that I think I like this more than Brave New World. Although BNW was very interesting to me, i think F451 is a lot more on my level. Not just with reading but also that someone could possibly relate to the story. Someone like Guy Montag who wants to explore more than the norm of the society is very similar to teens these days. Not saying that our society burns books because we don't want to read or become more intelligent, but a lot of teenagers these days want to be different and express themselves in other ways. Everyone wants to know more, and that's what Guy is trying to achieve. Sadly, i think Guy will not succeed in his attempt to expanding his knowledge, just because the author might want to make a point about a society that is over controlling.
I hope there is more background to how this society is functioning. In BNW the author mentioned a lot about what was right and wrong in their society, but in F451 i haven't read much of that. (other than reading books, or having books is forbidden)
I'm anxious to see how F451 turns out. When i read BNW i was very dissapointed with the ending, even if it did have a deeper meaning than what was written.
