More like it how?
More coming of age books about boys? In that case, try This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff or A Separate Peace by John Knowles.
More great 20th century lit? Try To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee or The Great Gasby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

i do no longer understand how old you're. 2 books are evoked. they're the two somewhat extra state-of-the-paintings and person. yet they're first guy or woman and have that cynical, indifferent from every person around them and watching the absurdity of life, feeling to them. One is 'The Rosy Crucifixion" with the aid of Henry Miller. this is actual a trilogy- 3 books, 'Sexus' 'Nexus' and 'Plexus' i do no longer understand the place he have been given those titles from. He talks approximately his life, his paintings, his buddies, in simple terms variety of watching human nature and society and incredibly being very cynical and depressed alot of the time. the different e book is "The Arrangment" with the aid of Elia Kazan, a novel some guy who has a mid life disaster and a variety of demanding breakdown and finally leads to a miles extra effective place whilst this is throughout. yet another e book you would be able to savour is "hassle-free human beings" with the aid of Judith customer. this isn't any longer written interior the 1st guy or woman. it fairly is a few teenage boy who resides in a kinfolk that seems primary from the exterior yet is fairly f---d up, and how he learns to tackle them via his therapist. it fairly is an exceedingly sturdy e book.

Check out some of Chuck Palahniuk's stuff. Also J.G. Ballard. Oh and the Soup novels by Robert Newton Peck...those are just good in general.

'Still Life with Woodpecker' by Tom Robbins.
'Catcher in the Rye', while proclaimed as great literature by many; I'd always felt was both pretentious and contrived.

God is a Bullet, by Boston Tehran. Fiction, nothing much to do with God actually, and a fascinating read.
