I swear, everytime I ask for no suggestions of "ZOMG TWILIGHT EDWARD'S SOO HOTTT!!!111" I still get them!.!.!.

Anyway, I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 17 and these are my more watered-down personal choices I think you may really enjoy!.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
http://www!.amazon!.com/Perks-Being-Wallfl!.!.!.
It's a great journey of self-discovery through first-hand accounts of high school firsts!. One of my favorites!.

Whores on the Hill by Colleen Curran
http://www!.amazon!.com/Whores-Hill-Novel-!.!.!.
It's a deeper look into the shallow lives many young girls!. And while not a "masterpiece" it's a disturbing/eye opening look into the coming of age period every girl goes through!. Pretty good!.

We All Fall Down by Robert Cormier
http://www!.amazon!.com/All-Fall-Down-Robe!.!.!.
It's pretty enticing with a little bit of thriller and romance/personal angst thrown in!.

Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr
http://www!.amazon!.com/Story-Girl-Sara-Za!.!.!.
It shows how one mistake can mistakenly brand you for life!. I think a lot of people can identify with the main character in one sense or another!.

Prep by Curtis Sittenfield
http://www!.amazon!.com/Prep-Novel-Curtis-!.!.!.
Captures adolescence almost perfectly and this book keeps you interested

Sloppy Firsts by Megan Mccafferty
http://www!.amazon!.com/Sloppy-Firsts-Nove!.!.!.
First series in four books that aren't fantastic but still good!. Most can identify with the main character and kind of reflect with her on past experiences!. It's a good read!.

Clown Girl by Monica Drake
http://www!.amazon!.com/Clown-Girl-Novel-M!.!.!.
It's a bit of a satire, and actually pretty hard to put down!.

Crooked by Laura and Tom McNeal
http://www!.amazon!.com/Crooked-Laura-Mcne!.!.!.
Very interesting coming-of-age story!. There's a bit of forced self-discovery as the two main characters continue to thing they care about and have their lives changed!. Really good!.

The ***** Posse by Martha O'Connor
http://www!.amazon!.com/*****-Posse-Martha!.!.!.
Hit or miss - you love this one or you hate it!. I think the characters are well developed and the story paced perfectly with a spine-tingling feeling

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman
http://www!.amazon!.com/Sex-Drugs-Cocoa-Pu!.!.!.
Very entertaining, insightly, and comedic take on modern socio/pop culture

Sellevision by Chuck Klosterman
http://www!.amazon!.com/Sellevision-Novel-!.!.!.
This one's really a hilarious and witty take on materialism and it centers around b-list celebs working on QVC!.

There's also the "Gossip Girl" series and the "Summer Boys" series I suppose!. I'm just throwing that extra suggestion out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ender's Shadow and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Enders-!.!.!.
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Enders-!.!.!.
these two books are probably two of the best books i have ever read and i have read each book multiple times!.!.!. the synopsis for each of the books does not do them justice and i HIGHLY recomend that you read them!.!.!. i have supplied links to the barnes and noble site for each book so you can see the reviews from other readers as well as the summaries

Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Great-a!.!.!.
these books have a bit of romance in them but i promise you that they are fantastic and not shallow whatsoever! they are fantasy books about a girl who has the gift and burden of magical abilities and keep the reader interested from start to finish

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Angels-!.!.!.
this book is by the same author as the davinci code, however i find it even better!.!.!. the plot is exciting and different and you wont want to put the book down until it is over! i stayed up until 3 one night to finish the 600 page story (give or take a few pages) which i had started earlier that day on the way to a basketball game!.!.!. a must read!

Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Eragon/!.!.!.
if you liked harry potter you will LOVE the inheritance set by paolini! i personally find these books to be much better than harry potter and i have read both books twice and will probably read them again before the 3rd book comes out in september!. i was thoroughly disappointed by the movie becasue the books were so much better

and last of all!.!.!.!.!.
ANYTHING BY TAMORA PIERCE
especially the quartets which take place in Tortal!.!.!.!.these books are absolutely fantastic and i have read every one of her books and am eagerly waiting for more!.!.!. i have suggested these books to my friends, including those who hate to read, and all of them are now just as addicted to her books as i am!.!.!. my favorite books by Pierce include:
the alanna quarter (song of the lioness)
the kell quartet (protector of the small)
the alainne books (daughter of the lioness)
the first book in the terrier series


HAPPY READING!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
