What is the name of that book?

[thatguy]

Hello, I am trying to remember the names of a couple of books I read in High school. The thing is that my memory is fault and one of the characters I thought was in the book was not in there at all.

One of the books was about woman who had a big television that was actually a wall and was looking forward to the time her husband could afford to get another wall for the television. You could interact with the television as well. I am not sure if that book is Fahrenheit 451 (which I read), I can't remember.

The other book is about a world where everyone is the same and they make people wear weights on themselves so that no one can jump or run faster then the next person. My memory is fault so I may be mixing my books up.

Thanks for your help.

Well the first one is Fahrenheit 451.
The second one, I know what your talking about, but I cant remember it either. I think is might have been by Izamov.

OK, that was Fahrenheit 451, I couldn't remember and its been a while. The other book, I can't remember the name of it to save my life. I read in like 10th grade which is 23 years ago. I wanted to read it again. :)

Thanks!

Mystery número dos would undoubtedly be Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron. Short story though, not a novel. Ahh, you're sooooo buying me lunch for that one. :nod:
