Chairman Mao's Book Club

I very like reading books. Knowledge is power. I think people need read more books in China. My laowai friend gave me a present of a book but it's not in laowai language--it's Chinese.

The book named Fahrenheit 451 by some old laowai Ray Bradbury. I think I enjoy reading this book. It's about government control people. But I don't understand why use "Fahrenheit" and not Celsius. Stupid foreigners don't know metric system. That's why China is better.
