O.K.! I know everyone's read it, but it's a classic and I think would make for a fun discussion.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. From Amazon:

Quote:
Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.
We knew that.

I'm not going to link to Amazon et al. because it's expensive, at least in the US. It's at OverDrive, Hoopla has the audiobook, and I figure most people have a copy kicking around anyway or can lay their hands on one. If you read Spanish, you're in luck because the Kindle version is only $3.99.
