Toby's reading Fahrenheit 451. He thought it was about wiping out books so people would never have to read again. Didn't you think something similar when you read it in school? Well, yeah. Years ago, before everybody knew what the book was about.
Never had to read F451 in HS. Instead, we had “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden”. sigh. Would have been nice to have had some good sci-fic offered in HS. .Imagine reading all of John Wyndham’s short novels for Social Studies (and History) A very colonial view point of the world..One movie made me head to the bookstore…. The HandMaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. (yes… that Atwood… only thing of hers that I have read)
