If you're reading 1984 and Brave New World (and you should), also check out Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

I made a list based on where you can purchase them if you want to edit it onto your post:

This Month's Book


u/ryanwalraven · 6 pointsr/NonZeroDay

Here are some quick recommendations from my list of favorites for those who are interested (I hope mods are OK with links to make looking easier, otherwise I'll happily remove them). These books engaged and inspired me and my imagination:

The Alchemist:

>The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.

>Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.

The Three Body Problem is a Chinese Science Fiction novel that has recently become popular in the West thanks to a good translation (I recommend reading my synopsis and not the Amazon one, to avoid spoilers):

>Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project looks for signals in space from alien civilizations. Meanwhile, in the present day, a physicist joins a grizzled detective to investigate why famous scientists are all committing suicide.

Fahrenheit 451:

>Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.

The Art of Happiness (by the Dalai Lama):

>Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and a hugely sought-after speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in his presence you can't help feeling happier.

Snow Crash:

>Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza Inc., but in the Metaverse he’s a warrior prince. Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus that’s striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about infocalypse.

  1. The King, the Mice and the Cheese. Every kid wanted it from the school library. I got in trouble when it got lost on my bookshelf and incurred late fees. Yes, my school had late fees.

  2. Fahrenheit 451 and The Technicolor Time Machine. I'm not actually much of a reader. TTTM my SF-obsessed father gave me to read and it's the first full regular non-school book I read. Then I read F451 because the title interested me in seeing it on his bookshelf.

    As an adult:

  3. Danny the Champion of the World for the absolutely wonderful father-son relationship. Most children's books present parents as adversaries. I remember my mother reading it to me as a child.

  4. The Harry Potter series, reading it to my daughter. The series is absolutely packed with wonderful messages for children.

What about something like Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury or Animal Farm by George Orwell?

u/ReipasTietokonePoju · 2 pointsr/cinematography

Maybe start by reading the classics ?

https://www.amazon.com/1984-Signet-Classics-George-Orwell/dp/0451524934/

https://www.amazon.com/Fahrenheit-451-Ray-Bradbury/dp/1451673310/


https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-World-Revisited/dp/0060535261/

The last on the list (and the most important one ! ) is also being developed to series:

For movies themselves, this ones are one of the more obvious choices :

The Giver

Farenheit 451

Night

Still I Rise

First 2 are fiction, emotional and personal growth overall is the centerpoint of the Giver. Farenheit451 is a great story on its face; but has a deeper (but easily recognized) agenda to pursue. Night is Wiesel's own story from WWII (child/teen in concentration camp). NOTE Night is not an easy read so be sure you're ready. I first read it probably 20 years ago and last read it maybe 4 years ago and my eyes are glistening as I type this.

I was going to add I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, but decided to start with "Still I Rise" (poem) is a better place to start.

u/SlothMold · 2 pointsr/suggestmeabook

I assume you like the non-mopey philosophical aspect?

You might like Looking for Alaska by John Green (boy meets crazy girl at boarding school) or Feed (boy meets girl on the moon).

If you feel like moving into Adult Literature without changing the narrative style or length, Slaughterhouse-Five, Fahrenheit 451, or If I Die in a Combat Zone might be good choices.

Here is the Book

Here is the [Film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451_(film)

Here is where you can buy the book

And here is a paragraph I found about elements of postmodernism.

> QUESTION: What are the elements of Postmodernism and Humanism?

ANSWER:

The elements of postmodernism and humanism are varied. Here are some of the more popular topics of interest:
Postmodernists often profess individualism over God and country, desiring the liberty to establish personal truth and allowing each person’s choice to be tolerated.

Many postmodernists promote the ideals of globalization, excluding any traditional moral or civil laws, free enterprise, or governed by a traditional political system.

Many feel that no single person or group should have dominance, special interest, or wealth over another.

The ideals of postmodernism confront and surpass the modern way of thought and lifestyle which relies on science and technology for progress. Postmodernists tend to blame modern capitalism for causing the evil in the modern West.

Many postmodernists ultimately reject Christianity.

I've been dying to read this on my Kindle because everyone talks about it all the time! I've heard it's just great.

And for a real book? I'd say this because it's one of my absolute favorites and I hate having to wait to check out a copy from the library every time I want to re-read it.

If I were a book, I hope that I'd be a great one !!

I think this is a lovely contest idea :) I'm always a big fan of anything book-related!! Thanks!

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury!

Google Is Burying Alternative Health Sites to Protect People from “Dangerous” Medical Advice


Many of us surely think that we're among the elite that really thinks about such and other matters but because those are largely taboo, we can't ever be sure whether our thinking is more ingenious than that of others. Google wants to protect you from conflicting opinions. And if you don’t think that’s a problem, imagine sometime in the future when searching for information on monetary policy you only find results for Modern Monetary Theory. Google thinks its intention to “do the right thing” is enough to prevent abuses; some Google employees would disagree.


In Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451, firemen don’t put out fires; they create fires to burn books.

u/pisspantmcgee · 1 pointr/writing

Absolutely! It almost feels like he's a minimalist with words though. He can describe something so vividly so succinctly. It's amazing! If you haven't read it, do it now!

u/SmallFruitbat · 1 pointr/YAwriters

Plenty of books will be categorized as "adult" lit while featuring child or teenage characters though. It's hard to be called YA unless your main character is in that very narrow 14-18 age range.

Also, pretty sure the first few Harry Potter printings had adult covers. I had this one.

I do think many predominantly-YA titles will appeal to adult readers though. A couple I've convinced my mom to read are Eleanor & Park, Two Boys Kissing, Song of the Magdalene, and The Hunger Games. Some adult books with wider appeal to YA audiences would be World War Z, Lock In, The Things They Carried, or even classics like Fahrenheit 451.

u/Officer_Pedesko · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I'd like to read Fahrenheit 451 again. Yep, again. I was forced to read it at the age of TWELVE for english class, hated it, and (ironically) really wanted to burn it by the time we'd finished it. I think I'd appreciate it a heck of a lot more now... seriously, who makes a 12 year old read that??

Elephant barber.

About me.... I actually do enjoy reading most books... :P I'm in college and am trying to figure out what to do with my life. I love horses, music (singing), books, film, and TV, and art. And Disney. I also have five kitties.
