Fahrenheit 451 The extraordinary experience of reading the novel Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, is that although it was written in 1953 the author predicted a vivid description of the way things are in America today. The colorful characters in this book represent different examples of American culture and how this culture is addicted to electronic media means of communication and has a lack of self control.

Salinger or Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck come to mind. These classics are included in school curriculums and are read by most students before they graduate.
