The Books
-Book #1--Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

-Book #3--Howard's End by E.M. Forester
-Book #4--Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

It was a pleasure to burn. He dilated upon the piety and heroism of "The Three Muskateers," portrayed, in the most glowing and impassioned hues,their virtue and magnanimity, the imperishable honor they acquired for themselves, and the great services they rendered to Christianity. Give them a chance. Big Brother fills us all with the same crap. Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave the room, for it was forseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages) would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.
