Fahrenheit 451

After listening to the audio book version of [b:Fahrenheit 451 4381 Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298412440s/4381.jpg 1272463] I sat for a moment and thought. I looked around and wondered. What would the world be like if all the books were gone? How could we stand the deluge of media that consumed those in this Dystopian future and made them stop questioning the world around them?That was when I began to think about the world around us now, which is consumed in so much media. I hope we are not heading in the direction of this book because I could not imagine a world without everything that can be found in a book and through our imagination. Think of all that would be loss without philosophy, discussion, science, questions, and time to think.My only gripe is that I did not come to this book until after the death of its Author. Thank you Mr. Bradbury for helping us look beyond the pages of a book.
