Question

So I've read A Million Little Pieces, My Friend Leonard, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I'm going to read Running with Scissors soon..
for some reason this type/genre of books absolutely drag me in and I cannot put them down!!! They're SO good! (by the way.. I don't want a lecture on whether james frey's books are the truth or not, i don't really care because either way.. they're AWSOME) I was just wondering if anyone knows any other books that are in the same general genre/ type that they would like to share with me? Biggest list gets the 10 points.

I'm sorry, I should have made myself a little clearer... The biggest list of books that are actually similar to the ones I listed, will get the 10 points.. not a hugge list of random books.
