Dear Fahrenheit 451

In Dear Fahrenheit 451 , librarian Annie Spence has crafted love letters and breakup notes to the iconic and eclectic books she has encountered over the years. From breaking up with The Giving Tree (a dysfunctional relationship book if ever there was one), to her love letter to The Time Traveler's Wife (a novel less about time travel and more about the life of a marriage, with all of its ups and downs), Spence will make you think of old favorites in a new way.

Readers know that some books affect you so profoundly they forever change the way you think about the world. Some books, on the other hand, disappoint you so much you want to throw them against the wall. Spence has crafted love letters and breakup notes to the iconic and eclectic books she has encountered over the years. Filled with suggested reading lists, Spence's take on classic and contemporary books is very much like the best of literature: sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes surprisingly poignant, and filled with universal truths.
