No classics or romance.
I like young adult, thriller, suspense, some science fiction, some fantasy, and books that are simply interesting in general.

For I teen I recommend 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), Jinx, and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.
If you want more info or meg cabot’s website email me.
i don’t exactly know what kind of books would interest you.
but I’ll list some of my favorites
Lord of the Rings
Chronicles of Narnia
Harry Potter
books by Victor Villasenor, which are non-fiction, but probably the most interesting non-fiction books ever.
The Host-Stephenie Meyer. it’s pretty good, not one of my favorites, but it’s a good story.
Flowers for Algernon-Daniel Keyes
one of my ALL time favorite book: The Catcher in the rye-J.D. Salinger. (but you probably read that)
and ANY given book by David Sedaris. the guy is freaking hilarious.
Running with Scissors-Augusten Burroughs a super funny book
and i like a lot of other books, but I doubt they’d capture your interest, they’re written for females mostly.
just go to teenreads.com
and go to their ultimate reading list.
sure you’ll find something
happy reading!
Here are some of my favorites:
Neil Gaiman is an amazing author!
Edgar Allen Poe is a really good author. Check out his poems and short stories.
Any books by Scott Westernfeld or Neal Shusterman are really good too.
Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator. And then there is the The Kiesha’ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail.
