Book Group: Fahrenheit 451

The Library AF book group will be meeting IN PERSON for the rest of 2025. Please find us at the Sacramento LGBT Center in the Lambda Founder's Room on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Our classic pick for 2025 is Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. I do not recall reading this when I was in high school so I'm excited to pick this one up to discuss with this group.

“Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known."
