Fahrenheit 451: What does it mean?

So we started reading Fahrenheit 451, and, I'll admit, it's a million times better than I thought it was going to be. Why can't all required reading be this good? (No offense, Silas Marner...). I guess I created this blog so that I'd be able to jot down some of my thoughts (I have so many to keep track of, after all).


Er, so, let's start with the basics? ...What does this book "mean", anyways? 
When I first thought about the answer to this question, it was very literal. Fahrenheit 451, as stated in the book, is the degree at which paper books catch fire (not gonna lie, I kind of want to test this out). However, I felt like this didn't adequately answer the question.
