Teen Books!
I absolutely love to read. Can anyone give me lots of great teen books (novels are great!) that you absolutely loved...Most likely if a lot of people have read it, ive read it too. so think of some good ones that not many have read. some examples of my faves are Looking For Alaska, and Hard Love. Just looking for some more options!Thanks a bunch.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
I LOVE to read and many of the books I wouldve told you have already been suggested such as Memoirs of a Geisha and Sisterhood of the Traveling pants...
Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code are by far my most favorite books of all time, once I started reading them I could not put it down. Angels and Demons is a thriller about a harvard symbologist and a scientist as they try and save Vatican City from being obliterated. Great twists. The Da Vinci code is about the same Harvard symbologist as he tris to unveil the secrets of the Holy Grail.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is a superb book and movie so I would read that if I were you. It's about a girl who is an outcast at school. She has a secret that she cant find the right words to get out about an event that had happened in the summer.
Go Ask Alice- Anonymous is a teenage drug addicts diary and if you want to read about her spiral into the world of drugs and the devastating effects on her life then this is a great read. It's a real eyeopener.

A great series that a lot of girls can relate to is the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison.
My favorite author is Michael Crichton, and although what he writes is far from teen books, you might want to give him a shot(I can't put his books down).

My Favorites would have to be the Three "Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants"
thats sounds so corney but its so good. and has absolutly nothing to do with pants. haha its just the pants that bring the story together.
-the notebook is also really good

Read these!
THE CRUCIBLE by Arthur Miller
Abigail, a nasty teenager accuses the wife of a man she's in love with of being a witch in Salem, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. Chaos breaks out.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen
The intelligent farm girl Elizabeth Bennett puts aside her prejudices to fall in love a snobby, arrogant nobleman named Darcy. Light, engrossing comedy. This was originally written for women in the early 19th Century
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux
A ruined genius with a distorted face causes catatrophes at the Opera House (which he inhabits the catacombs under) while dangerously falling in love with an innocent, virginal chorus girl and turning her into an star. Very exciting, but tragic.
THE HOBBIT
The storyline is too complicated to describe. Basically, a hobbit goes beyond his comfort zone to help a band of hardy dwarves retrieve their lost gold from the vicious dragon Smaug. Read it! It's my favorite book.
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS
Four girls keep their friendship alive by mailing their favorite pair of pants to each other as the travel all over the world. A delightful read about friendship.
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery
A story fresh from the Victorian Age that follows the life of an imaginative, redhaired 11-year-old orphan (Anne) who goes to live in Avonlea. It sounds old fashioned and stupid, but it's really fun to read!
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA by Arthur Golden
An impoverished Japanese girl who is said to have "special talents" goes to be trained at a geisha house. She changes her name to Sayuri and blossoms into one of the greatest geishas in Japan. But she's secretly in love with an unattainable man of her childhood.
JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK by Sean O'Casey
This book is about a poor Irish family who believe they've inherited a fortune. This treasure is obscure, but you can find it at most local book shops (not Barnes and Noble or Borders)
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Oscar Wilde
A hilarious, readable play that mocks English society. Algernon is in love with his cousin Cecily. Cecily is a moronic bimbo that only loves men named Ernest, so he changes his name to Ernest. Go figure.

I recommend "1984." I am in no way a reader, but this was a fantastic book (my favorite).

In my teens, I loved anything by SE Hinton. Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver is a great book and one of my all-time favorites. If you enjoy mysteries, you might try books by Sue Grafton and Mary Higgins Clark. If you enjoyed the movie The Princess Diaries, there is a book series as well. I haven't read the series, but it might be an option to try.

"A Child Called It" - this book is about a boy who has been beat and all kind of things its sad but realy good. The author of this book is Dave Pelzer and it is actully about his childhood. This is the first book and there are i think three more after it. But i only know the name of one of them " The Lost Boy". These books are really good you should read them.
