Banned Book Book Club

This month we will be reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a dystopian novel that paints a chilling vision of a future society where books are banned and “firemen” burn any that are found. The narrative follows Guy Montag, a fireman who begins to question the oppressive regime he serves as he grapples with the consequences of censorship and intellectual suppression. Bradbury’s work explores themes of conformity, the dangers of a society obsessed with entertainment and immediate gratification, and the power of literature to inspire critical thinking and individualism. The novel invites readers to reflect on the consequences of a culture that values conformity over intellectual freedom, serving as a timeless cautionary tale against the perils of censorship and the erosion of individual thought.
