"Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury

A classic definitely worth revisiting, "Fahrenheit 451" was frightening.  Written over 50 years ago, Bradbury's predictions of the lack of knowledge society gets from books and the way we will go toward feel-good theology were so clear that I was amazed by his predictions.  Will we get to this place soon or are we already there?  I couldn't help but thinking how wise he was in his predictions of society or are we simply that predictable?  

This is one you don't want to miss.

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne

WOW!!  What an incredible book.  Through the eyes of a naive child, Boyne tells a story of the Holocaust in a tragic way.  A simple read, this book made an everlasting mark on my memory and left me contemplating human nature.  Get this book and read it.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams

I finished this book and must say, it was wonderful and funny.  Arthur Dent goes on an intergalactic adventure with his luny companion Ford Prefect.  What he encounters will leave you laughing out loud.  He even discovers the answer to the meaning of life.

Read this one for the fun!!
