Question: Taking a different route to books!?
I'm 14 years of age and i've ran out of books to read!! A few days ago i was really into fantasy and spooky books but know i want to sart getting into more challenging books!.!.!. maybe sad books, or real life stories! The kind of books that you say once you've read it changes your life sort of thing!
I don't like romance!.!.!.
Anything else should be fine!
So if anyone could suggest some good books that would be gr8! And don't forget i'm only 14 and so i wouldn't really like violence or abuse type thing!

Yes, I know what you mean!.
Read "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseni!.
I cried like a baby, and couldn't stop!.
The book was all I could think about!.
Then I watched the movie (which wasn't as great, but good =D)
After reading it, it was all I could think about!.
I love it, it's one of my favorites and it's inspiring!
It takes place in Kabul, Afghanistan and also takes place later during the time of the Taliban ------Argh!.!.!.!.I hate them =(
EDIT :
spoiledbabi08 is totally right!. Read "A child called it", they are also inspiring!
And read Chicken Soup Books!. They're splendid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
A Child Called "IT" and the sequels are all REALLY good!. I read them when i was 13 or 14!.!.!.they are really sad, but also life changing and making you think about how lucky and easy your life really is!. The author Dave Pelzer tells his childhood story of how his mother abused him!. It's sad like I said!.!.!.it made me want to cry, but it was amazingly good!.
If you haven't read the Twilight saga those are really good too!. The fouth/last one just came out!. These aren't really hard reads but they have a little but of everything in them!.!.!.supsense, love, and action!. Try them!.
The Fearless series by Francince Pascal is really good too!. It's about a teenage girl who can not be afraid because she is missing the gene or something!.!.!.it's kind of weird but it comes in handy for her!.!.!.and it's a good series!.
