Don't Put Me In, Coach (#2 Why I chose this book)
I chose to read Don't Put Me In, Coach by Mark Titus because I had heard it was a good book from multiple people. I had a friend that read it last year and he said that it was probably one of the most hilarious and relatable books he has ever read. Also the book is about college basketball and college basketball has just started, so there is no better time to read it than now. Even though it is about the OSU Buckeyes I think I will be able to get through it. (Go Hoosiers!) As of this point in the book he is talking about before he became a Buckeye. He was supposed to go to and play at Harvard, but his coach sat him out the first half of the game that the Harvard coach came to. This was partialy because the day before the game Mark called his coach some not so nice words to his face. When Mark had came out to the court for the second half the Harvard coach left along with his scholarship to one of the most prestigious colleges in America. Now I definitely know what my friend meant it was hilarious when I read the events leading up to this game. Now I can not wait to get deeper into this book.

Don't Put Me In, Coach (#1 about the author)
Don't Put Me In, Coach is written by Mark Titus. Mark Titus is a former OSU Buckeye basketball player. He is now the holder of the most individual career wins in all of Ohio State University Basketball history. Although, he only scored 9 total points in his entire career. He is now one of the nations most famous benchwarmers. Mark Titus became very popular from writing his blog Clubtrillion.com. Mark Titus is also known as a hero for all of those who are picked last. So far the book is a hilarious and inspirational novel that I just can't wait to keep reading.
Fahrenheit 451
The setting of Fahrenheit 451 is the future. This society is a small, futuristic, and controlled society. It is placed sometime after the year of 2022, and as of then they have won and started 2 atomic wars. In this society jet cars move down the road past huge billboards because the billboards that we have today weren't noticed by the cars that sped by. Also in the book it said that in peoples houses they had parlors in which people could watch TV on all of their walls. The setting is where the main characters live; Guy, Mildred, Clarisse, Captain Beatty, and Faber. In this town books are not allowed, so firemen such as Guy Montag must burn all books. This creates the plot and the setting in which Fahrenheit 451 is based on.
