Well usually girls that are 17-18, like my three sisters at that age, wanted to read love stories and such. It really depends on what you like to read. Sounds like if you like twilight, (I'm guessing you mean twilight zone?) you would probably like sci-fi books, so go to a local bookstore/library and find the sci-fi section. Read the backs of the books until you find one that might interest you and buy it. If you end up liking it, look for books by that same author, or do a search for artists similar to that author.
Hope this was helpful,
Matt

If you like vampire books, consider reading Blue Bloods and Masquerade by Melissa De La Cruz, Sunshine by Robin McKinley, and perhaps the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.
Here are some other suggestions I highly recommend (non-vampire fiction, mostly kind of historical): Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracey Chevalier.
If you'd prefer something more along the fantasy route, here are some books that are quite humorous: The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey and Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett (actually, come to think of it, there is a vampire in Monstrous Regiment, but it's not like you'd think. . . )

If you haven't discovered the books by Anne McCaffrey
http://www.annemccaffrey.net/index.php
She has written a lot of stuff, mostly fantasy or science fiction, but her various series, some of which are written with other authors, range from pretty hard technical science fiction to social adventures in space to frontier/feudal survival. Most of her books should be in the library. You might sample the early books in several series with Acorna or The Ship Who Sang or Chronicles of Pern

My sister is almost 18 and I'm 14. We read alot of the same books. Rhymes With Witches is good. TTYL is good and if you like it you will like TTFN. My sis also reads the Eragon books and she loves Greek literature like Iliad and The Odyssey. the Redwall series is good too. I've always loved The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.

I highly recommend "The Ten Stupid Things Women do to Mess Up Their Lives". That is the perfect book for someone your age...I read it when I was about 25...I wish I would have read it at age 18.

"The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. Rand was a champion of individualism. Her novels make for enlightening reading in this increasingly socialist world.
A good second choice would be "Brave New World" by Huxley. He envisions a future which has nearly come to pass now, in which people worship Corporations and have been reduced to sex-obsessed children through rigid socialist dogma.
The complete novel is available on-line. http://www.hedweb.com/huxley/bnw/

I think it is time for you to enter the world of Shakespeare. Younger people tend to think (and unfortunately are encouraged to think that way by uninformed adults) that the language is above them and that the stories don't relate to your age group. I think that's absolute crap. Take a look at Romeo and Juliet if you haven't already, and if you have, look at A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet or As You Like It. Read it out loud and give it a try!
