I have selected to read The
Accidental Billionaires written by Ben Mezrich as my independent reading
book for the first quarter. The
Accidental Billionaires is about the lives of Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin,
and the founding of Facebook. I have selected to read this book because I am interested
in reading a nonfiction book that is a story rather than an essay. I am also
interested to see how the book differs from the movie, The Social Network. From
reading the first chapter, the formation of the relationship between Mark and
Eduardo already differs from the movie. By reading this book I will explore how
a real event is turned into an intriguing story rather than just an informative
essay. The Accidental Billionaires will help me with nonfiction writing by
teaching me new styles of writing, as well as hopefully inspire me with the
story behind the founding of Facebook.
