1. The Firm by John Grisham 
I want to finish reading this book because it is about a lawyer that gets caught in a mafia scandal, ans must choose between money and whats right. I also love books that have a twist to them and sort of an underlying mystery. The book is gripping and keeps my full attention and turning pages just as quick as I can.

2. A Time To Kill by John Grisham
This book is about racism in a southern town and about a man taking the law into his own hands. It appears to be a riveting story with action all around. I have even watched the previews to the movie on YouTube and I can't wait to read it.

3. The Client by John Grisham
I'm very interested as you can tell in books written by John Grisham. He is also from Arkansas and my boss has sold hay to his dad a few times before. I don't know much about the book other than it is written by him and another book about lawyers and prosecutors and I enjoy his writing.

4. Columbine by Dave Collen
I have read 'Give A Boy A Gun' and thought it was interesting to see what the killers were thinking. I guess it's like having a window into their lives and seeing what has led them to snapping. I'm interested in seeing the similarities and differences in how the killers were treated.

5.The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brian 
I've always been interested in Vietnam because I know people who were there. I'm hoping to learn more about how they lived and fought. I hope this book will give me more insight into soldier life during that time.

6. Dispatches by Michael Herr
I like to learn about the battle tactics and everyday life of the soldiers who fought in the Vietnam war. I believe it is interesting how they had to fight the Vietnamese. It is cool how the Americans had to change their fighting style to adapt to the conditions.

7. Once An Eagle by Anton Myrer
I think this book contains a lot of special operations stuff which I like. It also spans more than one war which should be really neat to read about. On top of all that I heard about the Screaming Eagles paratrooper squad in history class and want to learn more about them.

8. Band Of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose
I have watched the History Channel series on this book and loved it. It told stories of love,bravery, and honor. Not only is it action packed but it also very touching at times and should be a good read that will keep my attention.

9.Soldier Boys by Dean Hughes
This book should be amazing because it tells the war from both sides. It also allows me to view the war through the eyes of boys that are my age. I'm very excited to see how being in war changes their views on it and life both.

10.Black Knights by Lynn M. Homan
I recently watched a DVD on my way to Florida about the Tuskegee airmen and thought it was the best movie I've seen all year. Since then I have been interested in them and their history. I believe this book will provide more knowledge about them.
