Hey, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut's "A Man Without A Country" and I learned that Four-hundred and fifty degrees is the combustion point of paper. I don't remember reading this in the book. Maybe it was only me who missed this.....lol

I swear it was in F451 somewhere, I haven't got a copy though so I can't be sure. I have a feeling it was at the beginning though.

Yeah, I've been thinking about it and I'm sure it was. It just seemed new when I read it in the Vonnegut book. It's really interesting tho.

it is interesting, it's a really clever concept for the title too I thought.

I've heard that, but I don't remember it in the book. Let's surf online and see if it is in the book...I don't have my own copy either.

why does nobody believe me... it really is on the page before the main storyline begins, after the page where it says "part one: the hearth and the salamander". so basically it's the beginning of part one.

It tells me on the first page that says the title. I must have skipped that page.
