"Do you know why books are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'll find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion."Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel set in the not too distant future focuses on the censorship of books and firefighters who do the incinerating. As depicted in the novel, fast cars, violent youth, shallow and invasive television programming, intolerance, and substance abuse characterize society.Without giving away major plot lines, this book resonated as such a profound read due to the small population of intellectuals who vowed to keep books alive. Each member memorized a few chapters or entire books in hopes to one day help mankind rebuild themselves around literature and uncensored thought.
Head Lamps make the best book lights I finished this novel in one day - a very light read which will leave you pondering the terrifying implication of a society where it's illegal to read.
Up next.. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar
