Peter's Bucket List

1. Fahrenheit 451 - by Ray Bradbury: The novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is number one on my Bucket List because I happen to own the book at my house in my library.  The novel also appears on the Top 100 Teen Novels.  The porportion of the book is quiet small, which makes it look like an easy read.

2. The Green Mile - by Stephen King: The Green Mile, a novel by Stephen King, is a number one New York Times Bestseller. Like Fahrenheit 451, I happen to own the book at my home in my library.  This book transformed into a spectacular film starring Tom Hanks, a descent actor.  Critics claim that Stephen King is a brilliant author, causing me to read this book.

3. Bad Boy: A Memoir - by Walter Dean Myers: Bad Boy: A Memoir happens to be a novel presented by my personal favorite author, Walter Dean Myers. The plotlines of his literature makes me thirsty for more of his books.  I enjoy his work because for someone like me, who does not read routinely, feels that he writes easy reads, making it present in my Bucket List.

4. Lord of the Flies - by William Golding: The classic novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, is shown on the Top 100 Teen Reads, positioning at number eighteen.  I hear that it contains repulsive scenes, making me a tad exited ironically.  The book was highly recommended in my ninth grade Pre-AP English course; we as a class read an exerpt of it which caught my eye, yet I had no chance of reading the novel.

5. Nri Warriors of Peace - by Chikodi Anuobi: The highly anticipated novel Nri Warriors of Peace, by Chidoki Anuobi, sits abandoned in my library readless.  I hope to come this far on my Bucket List because Mr. Anuobi is a Nigerian author.  I will feel a connection with him because I am from Nigeria too! As a book with the setting in Nigeria, I believe that it will be an interesting read.

6. All The Right Stuff - by Walter Dean Myers: All The Right Stuff  by Walter Dean Myers seems like it is an average novel.  I use such judgement because the newer novels he writes are not as connecting to me as his previous novels.  I do see this book having high potential, a reason why I would like to read the novel.

7. Riot - by Walter Dean Myers: The setting of the novel Riot takes place during the Civil War.  I do in fact have a great perspective for war novels, considering the last two he wrote felt like genuine art.  I look forward to reading this novel in paticular because I am ignorant about the Civil War.  I feel it will help me learn more about what went on during the war.

8. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - by Douglas Adams: Although the novel is quite thick, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy looks like a fantastic novel.  This book falls in the Top 100 Teen Novels, making it a great conversed book. The title seems extra terrestrial and unique, causing me to put the novel on my Bucket List.

9. Thirteen Reasons Why - by Jay Asher: Thirteen Reasons Why, a hot seller right now, has caught literally EVERYBODY'S attention.  When Mrs. Gillmore gave the overview on it, my mind told me "do not leave high school without reading the novel!"  Just like some of the books on my Bucket List, it is in the Top 100 Teen Novels, making me want to read it!

10. The Cruisers - by Walter Dean Myers: As you know by now, Walter Dean Myers is my favorite author.  As the last book of my Bucket List, The Cruisers by Walter Dean Myers has not been familiar to me. The title truly hypnotizes my eye because it sounds like a group of hoodlums, just like the characters in The Outsiders.  If I get a chance to read this novel, it should be an addicting one because of the plotlines.
