So I'm in 10th grade and I have to do this book thing for english

I have to read either a biography, autobiography, or non-fiction book



I can't stand reading anything other than programming books but my english teacher said no to how-to books

Whatever. That's fine. She said yes to theory books though like object oriented programming books, design pattern books, etc.

My prefered language is either C# or VB .Net but I know some C++. Can anyone recommend some good books?

As for what I have to do, I have to read the book (must be over 250 pages) and then at the end write a 2 or so page summary on it.


I need to choose 3 books and find reviews on them (non-amazon) but only read one and do the summary on that one. Also, the authors have to be American.

So can anyone recommend some awesome books on this? Thanks!
