Can't believe it took me this long to get around to reading this classic novel by one of my favorite authors! It was unbelievable how Montag's thoughts about the noisy-ness of the world and life in general STILL is relevant and applies perfectly to our lives NOW. I think that is what floored me about this book. The TV wall-screens in the book that everybody is sucked into is the Internet of today!
I guess it's a downer to read this now and realize that everything the book (written in 1953) worries about for the future is happening now (or already has) or is in the process of happening.
Won't forget this book ever.
