arthurfrayn in Science Fiction Fans : Movie "Jumpers" sux "The Stars My Destination" kicks @ss (Yesterday, 4:24am)

... they are fine adaptations, and succeed in main part because they are longer presentations than 2 or 2 1/2 hours. Oh, and Fahrenheit 451 is another . I understand Bradbury didn't like it, but don't see a diminishing of his original concept in the film. That's a perfect example of people ...

iansales in Science Fiction Fans : Movie "Jumpers" sux "The Stars My Destination" kicks @ss (Jul 25, 2008, 5:57am)

I love Truffaut's adaptation of Fahrenheit 451. I've never read the book but I understand it's not all that close to it.

GeorgiaDawn in Science Fiction Fans : What are you reading? Q3 July - Sept 2008 (Jul 24, 2008, 9:33pm)

#92 arthurfrayn - Fahrenheit 451 is easily in my top five books of all time. I've read it many times.

TeenAuthor in The Green Dragon : Wow! I actually like that book ... who knew? (Jun 18, 2008, 4:42am)

I felt a bit iffy about reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 but it got me reading his short stories which were even better. I also never thought I would enjoy Nick Hornby, but one copy of About A Boy later and I'm hooked.

Just finished Fahrenheit 451 in record time, and I'm glad to see that high school did NOT ultimately ruin it for me. Granted, I kept hearing my English teacher in my head, but I appreciated it in a way that I couldn't in high school. Currently reading Terminal Man, but I'm anxiously awaiting ...

Currently re-reading Fahrenheit 451, and I am absolutely entranced. I had to read it for one of my high school English classes, and I find it MUCH more enjoyable now that I can read it for pleasure! I'm already 80 pages into it, so I should have it finished sometime tomorrow morning.

"There IS a matter of personal preference too..." That's ulitmately what this boils down to. I recently reread Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes and I thought they had some very good stuff in them. I like Clarke a great deal, but as a prose stylist he can get a little ...

Grammath in 1001 Books to read before you die : new edition: what are the differences? (Apr 27, 2008, 6:14pm)

#5 trinah, Fahrenheit 451 is still not on the list. In fact, I am in two minds about the 2nd edition, which I studied but did not buy in Waterstone's in Piccadilly today, and not just because, by my quick reckoning, I've only read 89 of the books on the new list, rather than the 136 I had ...

Mrs.Stansbury in Reading Big with the BIG READ! : What are you reading in YOUR community? (Apr 25, 2008, 9:43am)

Hey there, My high school students (Clarksville, TN) just finished reading Fahrenheit 451. I've used some of the lesson plan resources from the Big Read. There was a Big Read book discussion in Nashville over the book but it was not timed well with my class so I couldn't ask my students to ...

#4 Awesome, look forward to hearing the new revisions. I'd love to know if Fahrenheit 451 has been added, because, that is IMO, one of the worst omissions of the old edition.

TeenAuthor in The Green Dragon : Borders Bookstores are in trouble... (Mar 21, 2008, 10:20pm)

I just hope Fahrenheit 451 is never reduced to purely eBook form. That would be a tragic irony. Nobody would get the message of a book about burning books in a future where books are electronic and unburnable (yet deletable). Think about it.

readafew in dystopia : A HANDMAID'S TALE (Mar 21, 2008, 12:58pm)

The real issue with Fahrenheit 451 is it is all about thought control. They actually prefer people not to think in the first place, that way lies, trouble.

dreamlikecheese in dystopia : A HANDMAID'S TALE (Mar 21, 2008, 10:40am)

One of the reasons they memorised the story word for word in Fahrenheit 451 was that it was an offence to own a book. You couldn't write it down because then it could be destroyed. By containing it in your memory and passing it on that way, there is no physical book itself. You have no way of ...

Reading Fahrenheit 451 for the first time ever. I wanted to see what the fuss was about Bradbury, and he hits you with a sledgehammer of conformist madness, and the way he writes draws you in from the very first page and doesn't let you go. I had to tear myself away from it in order to EAT. Normal ...

As far as literary style goes, I'll throw Fahrenheit 451 in to represent the classics. I've always thought the opening paragraphs of that were some of the most impressive in any genre.
