  1. I have no idea. If I did have a book that was about me than I would call it the Biography of Yu Hua Jason Yang. I would choose this titled because the book is about me I mean I have other books like the U-Haul Manual but that is a story for another time. A biography is a book that explains the life of a person or is just about the man in general. I don't know what would make it a best seller but I guess everyone wants to read the life of a Asian man that no one cares about.

    1. Interesting blog. Your last sentence seems like a juxtaposition so I am befuddled by that last statement.

  2. If I were to write an autobiography I would call it "Banana Life" and that is because I am asian and happen to yellow but live on the western side of the world which means that I am heavily influenced by western traditions so white. Yellow on the outside(physically) white on the inside(mentally), banana. I do not think that the book would end up being a best seller since I do not do much so the life part would not be that interesting.

  3. If I wanted to write a book about myself it would be called "How not to live your life" as my book would focus on what not to do in ones life and would use my life as an example. I feel many people could learn from these the many many mistakes I have made and ensure that history does not repeat itself. My book would be a best-seller due to the great life advice it would provide the reader with.

    1. Very smart. You would be teaching what not to do based on your experiences.

    2. Great blog Cris. Nice idea of your own book.

  4. My book would be called "Me? I'm Just a Bunch of Molecules". I chose this title because it showcases my humour and that I'm a bit of a science nerd and proud of it. Aspects that would make this book a bestseller are some of the rough things that have happened which will be a sort of opening up and the humour that I use to cope and just how funny my life is. My life is pretty great but sometimes its so sad even I laugh. See, humour everywhere. I am completely fine with my life and only intend to make it better, ambition and drive will be displayed in this book. I hope I'm going places, because if I'm not I'm screwed.

  6. I really don't now what I would call a book about myself. I've never thought about it but the title would most probably have my name in it. Things that would make my book a best seller would be all the different things I do or have done in the past. Most people know basic things about me but in my book I would open up about most things especially things that people don't know about me. I would also include humour in my book because I think everyone likes to read a book that has a bit of humour in it. I think my book would be very interesting since people would discover new things about me.

  8. If I had to name a book title it would be busy gal. I know it’s very cringeworthy, but it’s crazy how busy I’ve been recently. I would name it busy gal because I would tell the reader about all that I was doing. Including sports and school. I personally don’t think this book will be a bestseller, because I don’t think anyone wants to here about this. Including my own friend ai lan.

  9. If I were to right a book about myself, the title would be " My life: No better, no worse than the rest". I honestly would not right a biography about myself unless I made a massive contribution in some way to mankind. If I were to right a biography about myself, I would give it this title because I do not see myself as having something that has impacted the world in a huge way, so I figure my life is no better or worse than the common man.

  10. If I were to right about myself I would probably right about the things that heled me be me today. Including my ups and downs and how I got through death in my life. I wouyld most likely name it Goodbye and start off with the death of my dog and my emotions and what I took out of this experience. I don't think I will ever come close to actuallky writing a book but ya that's what I would write if I ever did.

  11. If I were to write a book I would want it to be very metaphorical and inspiring and make you think about what life is. I know I am only 14 years old but I feel like I'm pretty wise for some things. If I really put my mind to it I think I can definitely write a book. Maybe I would make the title something about perspective, I think it would be very cool.

  12. If I had to write a book, I think I would name it "cautiousness" because nothing is worst than being stabbed in the back by the people you thought were the closest with. I had a lot of experience for dropping friends in the last 5 months, they were getting too toxic to my other friends and I, and we weren't happy anymore. Of course life gives you obstacles to try and get around, and you always need to be cautious, because everyone has a layer they hide. I honestly choose quality > quantity, because you can be in a big friend group while having no fun, but having 2-4 really good friends and making the memories that count.

    1. I totally understand what you're going through and agree with your statement of quality over quantity. Great blog

  13. If I were to write a book after myself I would name it "please buy me" because there would be no other reason to buy this book. It would not be entertaining probably not very well written in fact the only thing that would be in it is most likely my thoughts about philosophy and meta physics. Which the average person would find boring. There is also a good chance that it would be filled with my views on the political landscape which again I very much doubt anyone would care about. How ever if I name it "please buy me" I may gain enough money in royalties to buy a bag of chips.

  14. I think the title of my book would be "The Pessimistic Life". I would call my book this because I'm a pessimist, I basically have a negative outlook on life, which isn't always a bad thing. Optimists always have goals and if they don't achieve them they become unhappy, while I, on the other hand, anticipate the worst and don't really set myself huge goals.

  15. I think that my book would be about a group of teenagers who all have different lives and different social groups who come together and they always help each other through everything happening in their lives when they think that their own closest friends would not understand where they are coming from in their own point of view and that they always stay close, even through tough times in the group.

  16. if I had to write a book I'd tittle it "how to make millions in one night" then I'd have it plastic sealed so you'd have to purchase it to read it, inside all the pages would be blank, there for I'd make money and the people would learn that in this world, you basically have to scam people. look at apple for an example, they literally admited to making older phones worse and worse as ios updates

  17. I hate writing. I would never under no circumstances ever write a book just for fun. One profession I know I would never become is an author. If I HAD to write a book it would be titled "I was forced to write this book about myself". I'd probably write about my personal experiences, my family, my friends...blah blah blah. In reality nobody wants to read about someone else's life unless their famous. Well at least I know that I not going to just pick up an autobiography written by my neighbor Jared that lives a few houses down. Ya, Jared is a nice guy and all but do I really wanna read a full blown book about his life? No, not really.

  18. If I were to write a book on myself the title would be, “Very interesting book”. I would call it this so people think my book is interesting and they will buy it. Because of this title, my book will become a bestseller and will be owned and read by every human on earth. This book will talk about how I have lived my life so far and what do I plan to do in the future. This book will help me express myself in an interesting and effective way.

  19. If I were to Write a book about my self it would definitely be a comic book because I would never have the patience to write a full on novel. The title would be called writing with Ryan because it rolls well off your tongue. It would become a bestseller because I would lie and make it seem like I have done many crazy things during my life even though my life is pretty calm. I hate writing and I don't hate drawing as much so a comic book would definitely be the right choice for me.

  20. I think that if I wrote a book about myself, the only reasonable title to bestow upon it would be “I don’t want to be here”. This title fits perfectly with my constant state of mind and truly just reflects the kind of content the person would be getting when inevitably purchasing and reading the riveting story of me. I feel that this thought can also be related with by many people. Truth be told, I highly doubt this peace of classic literature would sell any copies. I think that if I were to pretend to be a very famous person in some foreign country, or someone with way more accomplishments than I have, perhaps that would help in sales. Is this false advertisement? Without a doubt. But that’s life.

  21. If i were to write a book I would call it "How to Successfully Fail at Life". I would call it this because I am a professional when it comes being a dumb ass. I have spent numerous hours of my life coming up with the best ways to mess up the simplest of tasks. Some of the features that would make it a best seller is the fact that there are many more dumb people. It can also be a guide of what not to do.

  22. I find that If you write a book. its better that you make a title that isn't straight forward and unique. For example, The Glass castle doesn't mean a lot at first look, but it is a unique title that intrigues people but doesn't give away the meaning of the story. On the other hand Trash which wasn't a good book tells you exactly what it was, People digging through trash. Another example is Iboy, clearly before reading this I should have known it was just about this kid who could do something a telephone could. Point is don't have a stupid title like "traveling on a road". They didn't call "birdbox" "Blindfold". That would be stupid and no one would have watched it.

  23. I don’t really know how I would title a book about my life but I think I would be interested in writing possibly in the future, however my life isn’t really exciting enough to have a novel worth of exciting information. I feel like people are only interested in reading about famous peoples lives.

  24. I think that writing a book about myself wouldn't be something I would do, so normally I cant give a title because I cant think of one. But I do know that in order to make a book best seller you have to have an alluring title and a great story with good detail etc...
