Reccomend Me Books, Please?

Question

I'm a 14-year-old girl and am looking for some new reading material. Please don't give me what you would usually expect a 14 year old to enjoy though. I'm looking for adult reading. My favourite book is The God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy because it's just so god damn beautiful.

My favouirte genres are horror and drama. I also like crime novels as long as they're not " Detective Regina Sassypants needs help finding to New York Strangler" I want something really challanging, that would get into the head of a murderer in some ways, you know?

Additional Details

Edit: I HATE TWILIGHT, VAMPIRES AND TEEN BOOKS. Please don't reccomend them they're awful!

You should read the Giver. It was challenging to understand but it was a great book with many serious things to consider about future human life.

Answer 10

Across the Universe is a grate book.
'Nobody's Princess" is also a wonderful book about young Helen of Troy.
"The Devil's Arithmetic" is a sad tale about the Holocaust.

Answer 13

I agree with your hating of Twilight. Completely. However, I just finished Dracula, by Brahm Stoker. Read it! It's nothing like Twilight! For one, it's good reading. But the symbolism in it, and the emotional drain is extraordinary. I really recommend it. Here's a list!

1. Beloved: Toni Morrison
2. Lolita ( Though, it's rather heavy, maybe wait a year or so) V. Nabakov
3. Frankenstein: Mary Shelley
4. East of Eden: J. Steinbeck
5. ANYTHING by David Sedaris
6. Fight Club: Chuck P.
7. The Outliers: Unknown
8. Perks of Being a Wallflower: Unknown
9. Kite Runner/ 1000 Splendid Suns: "
10. DaVinci Code/ Angels & Demons: Dan Brown


Hope that helped you!

Answer 15

For a young adult/teen Meg Cabot's young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), All-American Girl (up coming movie), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.
