The book I am reading for the independent novel project is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.  I have almost read the whole book and I think it is a good book so far.  At the beginning, it was kind of slow, but now there is a lot of action.  It is about a guy named Guy Montag who is a fireman, but the book takes place in the future when firemen burn houses with books in them instead of putting out fires.  In the book, Montag starts to question what is so bad about books and he rebels against authority.  The plot is good and there are many unexpected twists.  It is a fun book to read and it is not that long, so you should read it. The end.
