But Fahrenheit 451 is an entirely good option. I just read the book actually lol.

There's a passage read out by Chief Beattie that indicates the book isn't really about censorship, more about the follies of an intellectually inert public.

Edited by Euler: 7/21/2013 3:57:54 AMBeattie or Faber state that the public stopped reading on their own - censorship was a byproduct of the intellectual passivity of the people as opposed to an active intervention by the government. The book certainly makes some valid points about censorship, but it isn't the overarching theme of the book for me.
