I always tell my students to start with something that would engage the reader's senses. Make the reader imagine a smell (books burning?), make them see something (dancing flames?), etc. Of course, you need to do this without actually saying, "Imagine the smell of a thousand books set on fire." Just describe the stench.

Give it a shot! Smell, vision, taste, touch, and sounds will all work.

You mean after reading the book. I would recommend reading George Orwell's 1984. It has similar intrigue and a society on the brink of collaspe and corrupt goverments. I would say 1984 would be the perfect companion to Farenheit 451.

Maybe too obvious but, said to say, true:
That Bradbury set his novel in the future but that there actually were (first autodafés: heretics and book burnings in Sevilla in 1481, Nazi-Germany) and still are (recently Neo Nazis have burnt copies of the Anne Frank diaries in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, etc. etc.) societies in which books are burnt. "Those who burn books will in the end burn people" (Heinrich Heine).
