Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
First of all, "fahrenheit" should be the spelling word of the day. Second, I have heard references to this book all over the place, and I knew the basic premise of the book, but I'm glad that I read it. Now I understand the allusions and got to enjoy the action of the story. The main character, Guy Montag, is a fireman in a future that has no room for books or critical independent thought. Mass media, i.e.: television, has distorted society for the worse. It is a short, fast paced novella and well worth the time. Squid Stories says: read it!
