...for Miranda's sake...

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?This is a hard one; the wording of the question is a bit funny considering the novel's plot. Personally I would like to see all works by David Guterson destroyed (and believe me, it took a long, long time to come up with an answer ( Read more... )

Is it because you want all books of that genre to be destroyed, or because you think they're worth saving?

...I may just be having a brain-fart, but what are you talking about exactly...

Fahrenheit 451, what I remember of it, is about BigWigs banning all literature, because of ... I don't know, squishing of independent thought... so all the world's books get burned. However! A select group of peoples decide that this is not a cool thing to do, and take it upon themselves to memorise some of the world's great works.

I haven't the foggiest if this question is asking you to align yourslef with a book in the hope that it gets destroyed forever and ever and ever or so that it may be saved. It's badly worded. This comment is overworded. Go figure.

The dog is impressed.

Part of me really wants to, the other part is all "But it's Brenton's journal! This is how he writes!"

I'm a pedantic freak.

Which movies on the top list are going to freak Rachel out? I can't think of any. The bottom list, yes.
