I LOVED Thirteen Reasons Why except it was kind of depressing... but have you read Speak? That's a really good book.

Hmm.. If you feel like sticking to the Steinback theme, try reading The Red Pony, if you want a true challenge you should totally go for East of Eden: it's thick, but it's a pure work of art.  You might also like Things Fall Apart, it's a pretty well-known book, based around power-struggles and pretty much the flaws of human nature.

Well Hate List by Jennifer Brown is good. And so is shiver.

I had that problem too. I read all the good books and nothing seems to meet up to my standers after! Good luck!

How about:

  •  the Life of Pi
  • The Anthem
  • The Relunctant Heiress
  • and Nicholas Spark's books

Re: need help plz

I have a lot of books in my library and  i dont want to really write them all. I had a hard time rating them so there is a lot of 5 star ones but yeah. Go and look.

Re: need help plz

OK, I've read a lot of you read when it was reccommended with me. You've already read Twilight, so I would reccommend:

 

-The Hunger Games(Really good, kept me at the edge of my seat.)

-The Maze Runner(Same as the Hunger Games)

-The Red Pony(Sorry if you already said you read this one. Really good, touching.)

-Cannery Row(Really unique, a lot of different perspectives.

 

And try some more classics. Moby Dick, or what I read of it, was very good. If you speak as meticulously as Ishmel does. Or if you truly understand intricate speech.

 

Journey to the Center of the Earth is really good too. It's really neat how it has a lot of science, but not too hard to comprehend if you never studied stones or crystals. Like myself. XD

 

Don't be afraid to experiment with some different genres. Like maybe you'll like the Clique books, even though I didn't. Science Fiction, maybe some Mythology. It depends on how much you really liked the books you read. Hope I helped. :3
