Like others, read F451 as a kid…one of my first encounters with “serious” science-fiction.

Has come to mind recently because of online discussions regardings its links to “V for Vendetta”....

Although for some reason I read it in Grade 7. Grade 7? Come on… a tad heavy don’t you think for 13 year olds?Although I remember loving Bradbury after that, I’ll be re-reading it again; somehow I think I might get more out of it 20 years later :)

I read this book at a young age, it changed my view of everything.

Another book that blew my world open. Just an amazing thing. Read this if you haven’t already, it just makes your mind run wild.

The thing that I took away from this book which I wasn’t aware of going in is that the book burning was just a side-show. The real reason there weren’t any books anymore (in the open) is that people just stopped reading. A mindless virtual reality, much like TV today, took care of everyone’s needs and killed their curiosity. Also, an intense athletics and action-based culture made sure no one had the leisure to think or examine life.

read this in the early 1990s.

I loved this book when I first read it (around age 13).

Keeping us thinking.

Dig this book. Everyone should read it. In the vein of 1984.

This was the first full length novel I read by Mr. Bradbury and it made me fall in love with his unique and wonderful style. This is a story that everyone should read at least once, a cautionary tale of what the future could hold.
