Absurd excellence, I remember reading this in high school and not getting it at all. Not that much has changed, but that’s part of the point. I understand why it gets grouped with the Camus’s and some of the russians. Life is weird, social constraints and responsibilities fade, people move on

Read it on the train to Paris from Brussels. It’s ok. It has a similar vibe to the alchemist. It’s not my type of book.

**spoiler alert** “'We burned copies of Dante and Swift and Marcus Aurelius.' 'Wasn't he a European?' 'Something like that.' 'Wasn't he a radical?' 'I never read him.'” “We had talse alarms on the McClellans, when they lived Chicago. Never lound a book. Uncle had a mixed record; anti-social. The girl? She was a time bomb. The family had been feeding her subconscious, I'm sure, from what I saw of her school record. She didn't want to know how a thing was done, but why. That can be embarrassing. You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it. The poor girl's better off dead.' 'Yes, dead. Luckily, queer ones like her don't happen, often.” “ If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such as thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of "facts" they feel stuffed, but absolutely "brilliant" with infor-mation. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happY. because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to te things up with. That way lies melancholy. Any man Who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just errule, measunsured of equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.”

Great read. Even though I already knew the story, the classics are classics for a reason. So easy to read and get through, you get entangled into the story without noticing. Such a joy to read. Very well written, obviously.

Too long. And tragic. And sad. Are all classics supposed to be sad? No and-they-lived-happily-ever-after’s?
