The Discussion Lives On

Sweetwater County’s 2007 “One Book, One County” community wide reading program officially ended a few weeks ago, but this does not mean the discussions need to end. The book raised several interesting points regarding censorship, knowledge and ignorance. We encourage you to continue to discusses this topics with your friends and neighbors.

If you enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 you might also enjoy George Orwell's 1984, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
