Hi,
By looking at your questions and answers I believe you would really like:
Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs
It is very well written, humorous, dark, twisted, and uplifting all at once. GIT IT A SHOT!!
Read the review below on Amazon:

DEFINITELY read "Go Ask Alice" and take note of the message.
If you are interested in biographies, then there are heaps out there.
"Slave" - Mende Nazer
"Burned Alive" - Souad
"I Choose to Live" - Sabine Dardenne
"Sold into Marriage: One Girl's Living Nightmare" Sean Boyne
"It Happened to Nancy: The True Story of a Teenager" - Beatrice Sparks
These are not for the emotionally immature or younger person, so ask your parents what they think. These stories tell of the torment that girls have undergone at the hands of callous people.
There are far more interesting books out there that would be more suitable for you.
Try some Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Anne Bronte - the classics! Well-written literature is hard to beat.

Phineas Gage; a gruesome but true story about brain science, by John Fleischmann
Ordinary Genius, The Story of Albert Einstein, by Stephanie McPherson
Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars, by Albert Marrin
Anything by Russell Freedman
Oh, yuck! : the encyclopedia of everything nasty, Joy Masoff
Oh, Yikes!: History's Grossest Moments, by Joy Masoff
Russell Ash has books of lists and comparisons that are interesting also.

You mean you want to read nonfiction books? Well, there are plenty of those... newer books like "True Stories: Girls' Inspiring Stories of Courage and Heart", and classics like "Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank. Of course, it partially depends on your age.

If there is no interest in reading its going to be hard if you want to learn and interested in the subject it will be easier for you.

those books are garbage. Start paying attention to your education and worry less about reading the sadistic adventures of children.
