A Pleasure to Burn: Fahrenheit 451 Stories by Ray Bradbury
4.0
As a kid, I saw Truffaut's version of Fahrenheit 451 and thought it was cool, but I was way too young to understand the larger implications of the story. Years later I read the novel and the censorship angle was clearer (ah youth).
A Pleasure to Burn is a collection of short stories Bradbury wrote before 451. The themes are the same (big-brother government with a side of censorship). Two novellas near the end are dry runs for the latter half of 451. I think it would have been interesting to read this before reading 451.
If you like Ray Bradbury, you'll like this collection. I'd also recommend the 451 remake on HBO (with Michael B Jordan).
