1984
Fahrenheit 451
People don't read Fahrenheit 451? Or 1984? ๐คจ
Literally 1984
I read Fahrenheit 451 on a whim one day and the scenario was the exact same one we're in today. Except the fire department in the real world still tries to put out actual fires instead of burning books. We're not that far gone yet.
In my experience a lot of people have read 1984...
You definitely got me on Fahrenheit 451 though :)
Fahrenheit 451 is highly readable.
Do people not read 1984? They should, it's great.
I've not read F451, but I also haven't bought it, so I'm off the hook! :-)
