[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3547523, member: 26737"] I’d add Ray Bradbury’s [I]Fahrenheit 451[/I] to the list. It’s one of those books I read in school, but didn’t really get until I reread it as an adult. It was unbelievably prescient in predicting the dangers of political correctness decades before that phrase ever came into being. People like to think that it’s a condemnation of right wingers burning books, but that’s because they missed how the book burning started—it started by banning the things that offended various minority groups. Does that sound at all familiar? As a friend of mine says, Bradbury, Rand, and Orwell were optimists... [/QUOTE]
