Moonie, thanks re mentioning that Fahrenheit 451 is on the BBC radio iplayer though it must be a drastically reduced version of the book being 2 ½ hours in all. Besides reading the book I've also seen the 1966 film version a couple of times (Oscar Werner and Julie Christie directed by Francois Truffaut).
It's odd that 3 of the 5 books on that BBC list are of a dystopian nature.
