You know it’s possible to go to the doctor and post on Reddit, right? Neither one of those activities consumes every minute of the day. And besides, OP’s update would seem to indicate they did get medical attention.

Dude, if you don’t want people telling their stories, why the fuck are you even on this sub? Not everything is for pity.

Read it in high school, which is almost thirty years ago now. I found it to be the darkest of the dystopias I read at the time, even more than 1984. That’s mainly because it was more subtle; while 1984 represented repression from an external source, Fahrenheit represented a population already won over to the repressive mindset. Great book though. Highly recommended.

If you like Bradbury, I recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes. Completely different kind of story, but very good. Try to read it with a sympathetic eye toward the boy’s father, who turns out to be a more important character than the early chapters would have you believe.
