Synopsis: Fahrenheit 451 is a novel set in the (perhaps near) future when “firemen” burn books forbidden by a totalitarian “brave new world” regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is “a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch.” Today, when libraries and schools in this country and all over the world are still “burning” certain books, Fahrenheit 451 remains a brilliantly readable and suspenseful work of even greater impact and timeliness.
Review: Always a classic at the rate things are going this should be the new Bible for the entire world. In this technology crazed world we are losing the ability of reading comprehension and fast. Fahrenheit 451 was a novel that I had to read in high school and I could not connect the dots then that are so clear now. As Guy Montag grows more curious with each book burning, he is driven to save a few to see what the fuss is about. Committing a major crime, he starts reading and developing thoughts which lead him to yearning to have conversations. As his wife is under the hypnotic spell of her televised family, she is embarrassed and appalled that her husband is no longer “normal.” Mrs. Montag is like many folks today who would rather veg out in front of wall TVs and be entertained by “The Family” instead of their own. This can be a dangerous adaption yet society is more than ready to comply with this reality, because engaging in conversations become too much work for most who are incapable of a solid thought process that does not include a television, music reference, or the discussion becomes to profound.
10 bookmarks for a book that never loses meaning regardless of the decade in which it was read and for an author that is willing to fight for his book and against the fundamentals of censorship.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.

Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
