Just a sidenote. I've been in offices where its really obvious that they went out and bought a bunch of used books and threw them on a shelf. No shade, but please remove stickers from the spines, so it doesn't look like you're selling books on the side.

Ray Bradbury is amazing. I get why Fahrenheit 451 is the one everyone knows, but unlike some other authors assigned in school, his body of work is filled with great books.

The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked this Way Comes are some of his best, but with what you're saying about his language I in particular think you should check out Dandelion Wine.

It's been a few years since I've read Fahrenheit 451, but what struck me was actually learning what the book was about. Most people stop at it being anti-censorship (burning books bad), but it's much more about anti-intellectualism. You don't have to burn books if people aren't intellectually curious.
