A good book!
As ashamed as I am too say this, The last time I picked up a book and read the entire thing was 8 years ago.
My question is does anyone know a really good book? Something that isn't a century long lol..
I saw someone suggest "Speak" on another post it sounded very interesting and I will look into that one. However, I like books about reality, Drama, Real life storys not so much romance novels but survival storys or something that someone went through in life. Also if anyone could suggest some really good books related to Anxiety and Depression would be fantastic!
P.S. I have already read all the David Pelzer books.
Thanks!

The perfect book for you would be The Outsiders. It's not long at all and it's easy to read. It's a wonderful coming of age survival story. It's by S.E Hinton, and I think it would be the perfect novel for you.
By the way, only read Lovely Bones or any other Alice Seabold novels for that matter, if you are ready to be scarred for life. It's a pretty depressing and gross book. Ellen Hopkins novels are the same. Just a warning :)

Khaled Hosseini - Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Running With Scissors by Augusten Borroughs is about something someone went through in life, but it's also the funniest thing I've ever read (in a sick and twisted way, so if you're easily offended, I don't recommend it). The sequel, Dry, is more dramatic and sad and deals more with drugs and alcohol problems.

I think I was the one who recommended Speak. I know it's not exactly based on a true story, but the situation is definitely a reality where it could happen to anyone.

Oranges Aren't The Only Fruit, fits the bill, so long as you are open minded about about homosexuality.
You might find Fall On Your Knees really compelling too, although in fairness it's a damn long book...
