Book of the Week: “451 Degrees Fahrenheit” – Ray Bradbury

A masterpiece of American literature that is still incredibly relevant today. In a dystopian future, books are banned and possession is considered a crime. Firefighters no longer put out fires, but burn literature. The main character, Guy Montag, goes from a blind enforcer of the system to a man who begins to search for the truth.
