I find this book to be boring.
1. Bradbury includes a description of what Christianity is like in his culture. Do you see any similarities between what he describes and our time and culture?
2. Faber says, "The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." Explain the context and meaning of this comment. What does Farber mean?
3. What does "Those who don't build must burn" mean?

1. There are a lot of similarities, I think what Bradbury tries to point out is the hypocrisy of the zealots.
2. Faber means that books are a beautiful reality that everyone shares.
3. Those who can't be productive must destroy. Think of an architect vs. a guy with a sledgehammer.

"The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us."
Faber is saying the book is just pieces of religious doctrines, cultural traditions, and outright lies to suit the goals of the society.
"Those who don't build must burn"
Those who don't conform must die.
It's easy reading if you don't read everything so literally. Bradbury writes in metaphors.

That book is anything but boring. It's amazing.
But if you don't like it, maybe you should just burn it, and go read Harry Potter.
