Invitation to Read

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a book you may have read in high school. If so, you will remember Guy Montag. He is a book-burning fireman undergoing an identity crisis in a society that prefers trivial information to real knowledge and ideas.

Filled with suspense and intrigue, the book is sure to please readers of all ages as it heavily explores censorship and the freedom of ideas, two topics just as relevant today as they were in 1953 when Bradbury first wrote the book.
