I really don't want anything difficult to read (nothing you would read in English or AP-like). I love reading about real life situations: anything high school, depression, anything emotional or inspirational, suicide, death, friendships, about people with disorders. Any ideas?

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was a fantastic book.

Geek Love, A Hole in the World, Cherry, Little Girl Fly Away, Feather Crowns, Angela's Ashes, Girl Interrupted, It.......many more. Go to Oprah's book club, she usually has a bunch of books along those lines.

If you want to read a good book read Watership Down, it is a juvenile book but has a great many lessons for life. If you are a true reader you will enjoy it. If you want a great inspirational book about a high school kid find a book titled "the Comeback Guy"

Pick up a copy of Pope Joan. Just finished it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hated to put it down until I'd finished reading it.
The story is about the legend of a female Pope who, as a child, disguised herself as a boy and assumed her brother's identity when he died, so that she could attend school. She rose through the ranks of the priesthood and became Pope. A great read!
For light reading, try Weekend in Paris. It was fun.

One of the best books I've read is Christy Yorke's Song of the Seals. Quote from a review: Christy Yorke offers a compelling novel of life, loss, and the bittersweet joy of loving with one's whole heart. Beautifully written prose.
