    L’ho riletto a distanza di molti anni, e stavolta in inglese. Non me lo ricordavo scritto cosi’ bene.

    Impressionanti le descrizioni della TV, e della guerra: scritte quasi sessant’anni fa, sono risultate assolutamente profetiche.

    La cosa che più mi ha colpito, e che non ricordavo, è il perché si è smesso di leggere: non fu il governo a proibire la lettura contro la volontà dei cittadini. Al contrario: furono i cittadini a smettere di leggere, a rifiutare le difficoltà e le domande insite nei libri, e ad applaudire ai primi roghi.

    Da rifletterci un bel po’ su.

  • This is a fabulous book. I have read it twice and loaned it out many times. I have yet to meet the person who dislikes it.

  • Books on Fire

  • Another interesting "futuristic" novel that has its timeless value. It is all about media control. People is imposed with the selective knowledge to deprive their thinking.

  • Book Burning-Eek!

  • If you like "the giver" and "1984" you'll get this book. Not as good as those two, but the same concept. This is in a time where firemen burn books to keep people under control. They don't have anything else to burn since everything is fireproof.

  • Must read classic!

  • I think that everyone should read this book at least once. If not, several times. This is in my top 5 favorite books of all-time!
