The most chilling detail in Fahrenheit 451, I think, is the concept of minimum rather than maximum speeds. It wouldn't ever happen in real life - for engineering design and safety reasons - except in isolated cases like the Autobahn - but, yeah, it's kind of the norm nowadays anyways.

Today I went to Value Village (or, Valû Villäĝ, if you feel fancy) and picked up the whole Mage Winds trilogy, the Mage Storms trilogy, and Exile's Valor. Exile's Valor is a book I read as a young sprog that I've enjoyed ever since. The other two trilogies are in the same universe, but I haven't ever gotten into them in the same way, and don't recall the plot of.
I also bought a shirt.
H&MI thought that I wanted a white ruffled shell, so I bought it without trying it on because it looked like it was in the right size, and for $10, what could go wrong?
A lot. A lot could go wrong.

The ruffles feel very tentacly in person. This may have been a mistake.
