Re: Me me me: Two Wongs Send a noteboard - 03/06/2011 03:26:17 PM
I am currently reading Fahrenheit 451 as part of the May/June challenge. It is somewhat incoherent so far, but I think it has begun to pick up. Suspect it is deliberate.


I found that one at the bottom of my mother's Tupperware cupboard when I was 12. It sticks in my memory as one of the first (and so far very few) books to have my brain ticking for quite some time after - very fascinating. Now I wonder if that was just my age at the time or if it really is so clever.
