Contrary to what everyone else is saying, I remember liking the book. The problem is, I read it for school like 4 or 5 years ago, so I don't remember any of those details... Sorry man--if I had a copy of the book I might look those answers up for you, but since I don't... well, you're fucked

Just read the book, it really is a fantastic story.  Bradbury has such a dreamlike style, I love it.

you should really take the time to read this book, it's a very important piece of literature and is as pertinent today as it was when it was written, if not more.

I'd help answer these questions but I've got an exam in an hour so try your luck with this: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/451/

Ray Bradbury's short stories however are fucking sick, more 2001 Space Odyssey style sci fi, where the distances are vast and space dark, cold and foreboding. Dick is a great writer, dont get me wrong (Man in the High Castle is a fucking masterpiece), but theres something cool and unsettling about Bradbury's take on humanities future.

I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but if we're talking sci-fi then Orwell's 1984 is by far at the top of my list. I also enjoy kurt vonnegut's works, namely breakfast of champions and slaughterhouse-5.

It's a very quick read. Just do it. It's worthwhile. I like Bradbury, but Vonnegut is a little darker and more my style. I really liked the short Harrison Bergeron, until I realized it was coming true.
