Book recommendations?

RSned05 · May 13, 2010

I'm looking for some good book recommendations. I like YA fiction and adult fiction, but, mainly I really like books that deal with real life issues such as drug abuse, etc. I've read alot of Jodi Picoult, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Patrica McCormick. I am currently reading The Weight of Silence. I don't like writing that is too complicated. I like to keep it simple and to the point. Any suggestions?

Well, as for addictions you can't do much better than James Frye A Million Little Pieces and Susan Keysan Girl, Interrupted

Break by Hannah Moskowits. Its short but hits with the emotional potency of a nuclear bomb. Buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it!

You might enjoy something like In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. I thought it was both interesting and enjoyable to read.

Gemma by Meg Tilly! I love it and I don't usually read books like that. I couldn't put it down.
