Quote:Unfortunately they never showed us Sci Fi novels in high school when I finally got in, Instead we had just plain boring Fiction!What has the world come too?!!!
I didn't read Farenheight 451 in school, but we did read 1984 and Brave New World... both better books than Farenheight 451, IMO, incidentally. :)
Quote:I might actually read it if the Jerk who made it doesnt sue Micheal Moore for using the word of a Imperial system temperature term that he used in his book.
He has every right to do that. Michael Moore clearly ripped off the name (and more than that... I'd say he's clearly, by using that title, trying to make connections between the opressive government in the book and the Bush administration) and didn't get Ray Bradbury's permission. Bradbury has a very good case, I'd say. Though he probably shouldn't sue because it'll just increase intrest in his classic book... (cooincidence that I've heard that they're making a new Farenheight 451 movie?) :)
