I just finished this, what an excellent book! The Coda was very interesting as well.

Period 3 is halfway through. :) been a while since I've read this.

Finished tonight. What a great (but frightening) story! All 3 of us read if but we can't talk about it much until after the kiddo does his paper for school. I can't wait to discuse it as a family.

My son picked this as an independent study book in English. My husband he naturally heard of it but we had never read it so we all desired to do it.

I opted for some thing short to follow Game of Thrones.

Bradbury's language is amazing. I'm reading this to propose this as reading material for my high school class. We're going to have a vote between this and another book. I hope this one wins. A girl commented on reading while we discussed this. She said that she thought reading was boring. I hope this book will give her a new perspective.

Just read finished this. Loved it. First time reading it or any Bradbury. Time for some catching up...

Excelente libro. Uno de queda pensando bastante cuando uno lee sobre una realidad ficticia y futurista. El parecido con la realidad es mera coincidencia! XD

Although it is much celebrated and fathered several tropes, fahrenheit 451 is a boring and lackluster view of a dystopia we are rocketing toward anyway.

Been wanting to read this for sometime.just picked up at frugal muse books yesterday.

Finally finished it on Monday! I really like this book! :)

If the drama is bad, if the film says nothing, if the play is hollow, sting me with the theremin, loudly. I’ll think I’m responding to the play, when it’s only a tactile reaction to vibration. But I don’t care. I just like solid entertainment.

God, Beatty. You rip apart my soul with your words, but you're still an asshole.

What I learned today: Ray bradbury is still alive.

Suppossed to read 40 pages. T_T

Giving up on Lovecraft. Let's see if this is any good.

I kept forgetting to check into to this, but I finished it yesterday. Such a great book, glad my teacher made me reread it.

Ray Bradbury is such a magnificent writer it's almost ridiculous.

BEST book I've read.
Good job Mr. Bradbury!

Reading Fahrenheit 451 for some English in-class assignment; I'm slightly confused by what's going on

This english paper will be the death of me. I hate sci-fi's and don't understand it.

got to read to page 91 by Monday.

Amazing book especially considering when it was written. I mean Bradbury even predicted the future of telephones-bluetooth! I felt the ending was a bit of a let down though...

Slow at first but starts to get good :)

Knocking out the last 22 pages.

"What is there about fire that's so lovely? No matter what age we are, what draws us to it?"

"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at least one which makes the heart run over."

"At least once in his career, every fireman gets an itch. What do the books say, he wonders. Oh, to scratch that itch, eh? Well, Montag, take my word for it, I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They're about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're nonfiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost." - Captain Beatty

Time for a new book. Not really new, but I've never read it.

Finally done such a good book and I can its influence on Equilibrium and The Book of Eli

I have read Fahrenheit 451 and also saw the Movie! I have read many Books by Ray Bradbury including the his short stories!
