Fahrenheit 451

Huh. That was pretty good! I don't know why I didn't finish this one in high school like I was supposed to. I definitely remembered getting to a part early in the book where the woman lights her own match as her house/library burns, but a lot of how this worked out was a surprise. It was a slower-moving book, but the payoff was nice. I really like the idea of people all over the country (world?) holding pieces of literature in their heads, and working collaboratively to pass that knowledge on to others, and the ending was quite beautiful, with Montag repeating bits of Ecclesiastes in his head as the wanderers head off to see what's left of other cities. Glad I finally read the whole thing.
