===Ray Bradbury grew up during the Roaring 20s in Illinois and spent most of his youth in the libraries of whatever city he lived in (his family traveled around until settling in Los Angeles when Bradbury was a teenager). Bradbury has over 500 published works including novels, plays, short stories, etc. Fahrenheit 451 originally began as a short story published in a science fiction magazine.===

===Bradbury stated that Fahrenheit was written to display his love of books and that Guy Montag was an allusion of himself. Over the years, however, interpretations of the book have shifted to the idea on censorship and the historical role of book burning. Bradbury claims that his book is not about censorship but rather how television destroys interest in reading literature.===

===Fun fact: The book is named after the temperature at which paper or a book would combust (450 C). However, 451 is supposed to be in Celsius but Bradbury thought Fahrenheit 451 sounded better even though it's incorrect.===
