Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury, 1953 ★★★

Playing with Words

Books will mislead you even before you ever read them.

Take Fahrenheit 451, a very famous book understood by many to be about censorship. In it, books are commonly burned for containing dangerous ideas. Even the author noted the irony of it being banned by school boards decades on.

So it’s about censorship, right? Not exactly.
