@catter70 I found Brave New World absolutely brilliant and compelling reading.  I had always heard about that book and some "figures" quoted from and mentioned that book, so I decided I was due to read it about two summers ago, and I did read it.  

 

It was such a wow of a book.  I liked it much better than Fahrenheit 451, because I thought it was amazing from the first to the very last page, whereas I felt a bit of a letdown by the ending of Fahrenheit 451--
