Whiting Library Book Club

January 19, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Whiting Library Book Club is holding our monthly book discussion at the library in the community room (masks required!) and simultaneously live on Zoom. The book for January is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury. Often regarded as one of his best works, the novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found. The book’s tagline explains the title as “the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns”: the autoignition temperature of paper. The lead character, Guy Montag, is a fireman who becomes disillusioned with his role of censoring literature and destroying knowledge, eventually quitting his job and committing himself to the preservation of literary and cultural writings.

If you have any questions or would like to get on the email list for the Book Club, please contact Deirdre at the library. You can email whitinglibrary1@gmail.com or call 875-2277.
