"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is an amazing book for young adults and pretty easy to find. Also "The Catcher in the Rye" is damn good. There is also a really good series called "The Dark is Rising" that is remenicent of "The Chronicles of Narnia." Other than that i'd recommend "The Witchs" By R. Dahl

Well ... I don't know how old you are, but try 1984 by George Orwell ... trust me, it's great. If you look it up on amazon.com, you'll see why. And then there's a great book (and it has a great sequal) called "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller. It's an amazing piece of literature, very sexually explicit, but for good reason, I think.
Oh, and also, you might really enjoy a book called "The Dirty Girls' Social Club". It's about six Latina women -- all friends -- who go through different, life-changing experiences that most young-adults find very relevant to themselves.
Hope that helps.

The Flight of the Phoenix very excellent and not to long hard or complicated, character development and personal interaction are prime, available in most libraries and bookstores.was made into a mediocre movie by some Hollywood hacks who had to add a woman heroine and a love story, not what the book was about.

Read David Gemmell. Kick *** fantasy books. Not the lame elves, dragons, etc. ****, but warriors and sieges and battles.
I suggest getting Legend. It's about a barbarian horde trying to invade the country of Drenai. The only thing stopping them is a fortress that is rundown, undermanned, an ancient hero named Druss, a new Earl who is a coward, and 30 warrior priests.
You'll love it!

My son always liked the classics, and they are never hard to find.
His favorite was The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas
But also the Lord of the Ring Trilogy, and add in the Hobbit too.
