I swear I had all the best intentions, but that book literally taunts me from it's place on the bookshelf where it's been sitting for the past 2 years. Not sure I even made it to chapter 2....
Well the first chapter is very good and reading it will explain why this book is so influential. It's also not very long. You can do it ๐ช

1984
Fahrenheit 451
In my experience a lot of people have read 1984...
You definitely got me on Fahrenheit 451 though :)
