Anyone else sometimes find themselves stuck reading one genre over and over. Like all the books you find yourself reading are similar. It feels like watching a comfort show over and over but instead with books. Like it's hard rn to start reading another genre because I just am like 'no it's too different' . idk, figured I'd share my struggle and see if anyone can relate.

The first time I read Fahrenheit 451 completely changed my brain chemistry. I couldn't even articulate it at the time, but the power of that moral reckoning changed me as a person. Montag realizing that he was destroying his own society from the inside, stopping himself, and changing without turning back was something I'd never seen before. His resistance to the trajectory of society, even when it meant he would be totally alone, became a permanent part of my psychology. Bradbury is a poet and a philosopher that is one of my favorite authors of all time. And as someone who exists in a community that gets very trigger happy with book bans, it inoculated me from ever believing in censorship.

What's yours?

And why? Ridiculous answers are also encouraged.

this novel is convincing me even more that 2nd person POV is such a powerful literary tool, it just works so perfectly with Constasta addressing him so boldly

This is my second go at reading this book (DNF'd at around 20% last time), and I have to say that once you pass the 50% mark it really picks up in terms of action. I'm definitely more into the story now, but it took a lot of perseverance to get here and to get through the world-building/plot build up (it was very necessary but it was kind of a slog to get through, which isn't usually how I feel about that type of stuff in books).
