Ok so now I'm up to page 95. Things start getting interesting and tight as Montag meets the old man, Faber. I like how the author uses all the literary devices and figurative languages. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what the author's trying to say, but you'll find it amazing when you finally understand the inner meanings.
I found that he largely uses continuous numbers to create a feeling of terseness. When I was reading it, I could sort of feel a voice come from the deep of my head, whispering and counting out those numbers faster and faster. I couldn't stop reading it when I reached the part that Montag's taking a train to Faber's house. The author lavishly uses different kinds of figurative languages to describe the weather, the mood, the surrounding, and even the "speed of time." Sometimes time seems going fast in the book, while at several parts, time's frozen, paused.
I like this book more and more as I read through. It's probably one of the best novels I've ever read.
Now I'm reading the part when Montag's heading home with the 'seashells' plugged in his ears. I have a feeling that the climax of the story, or an essential turning point is coming close.
