Fahrenheit 451

This is the second book in the Hugo list. Would you give a book an award when its theme is about burning other books?  The theme is really about censorship and what you can and can't read. This book written in 1953, is not that long after the Germans were burning books in the 1930s. We visited Bebelplatz in Berlin in 2015 where books met their demise.  Mel Gibson was going to do a remake of the film but now HBO are doing it.

451℉ is the optimum temperature for burning books
