Daniel : Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (Paperback - April 1, 2008) from Cathy

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian speculative fiction novel authored by Ray Bradbury and first published in 1953. The novel presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic, and critical thought through reading is outlawed. The central character, Guy Montag, is employed as a "fireman" (which, in this future, means "book burner"). The number "451" refers to the temperature (in Fahrenheit) at which the books burn when the "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity". Written in the early years of the Cold War, the novel is a critique of what Bradbury saw as an increasingly dysfunctional American society.

Daniel: Currently reading <24個比利> from Shan(?)


Author: Daniel Keyes
擁有心理學背景的丹尼爾．凱斯，擅長在小說中探討人類最微妙、最深層的心理問題。他在俄亥俄大學任教時，便開始以多重人格為創作的方向，1980年發表的《第五位莎莉》及1981年發表的《24個比利》，讓他的名字與「精神分析小說」劃上等號！

1977年在美國俄亥俄州涉及連續強暴案的嫌犯比利遭警方逮捕，但是，他對自己曾犯下的罪行居然毫無記憶。他可能是個精明的騙子，犯下了強姦重罪卻安然無事，否則他就真的是一位多重人格的患者。事實上，比利的內部存在著24種人格特質，面對此一事實，法官要如何才能做出判決？

It's really a long long book (with nearly 600 pages and a hundred of names/characters), so I am still reading it. But indeed it is not so horrible as you imagine. Will share my feeling/observation here as soon as I finish the book!
