Check them out on Amazon/ goodreads and see if they interest you first. They are all a bit older. I'm afraid the past two years I've been reading mainly YA myself... I've just been thinking I need to read some more OA (older adults) ;-) again, too! ^^

@wirepuppy Haha, I love YA, but I think it's best to be balanced. :)

I read this book last year for book club and really enjoyed it. Great reviewing and such, I always enjoy watching you. That sounds creepy. Whatever.

@txmandaxt I'm glad you enjoyed it too! lolol it's nice to know I have fans.

Some suggestions: "Microserfs" or "Generation X" by Douglas Coupland; "Cat's Cradle" or "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut; "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller (it's a bit lengthy, though); "The New York Trilogy" by Paul Auster; "The Hottest State" by Ethan Hawke; "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt.

@wirepuppy I am very thankful for all these suggestions! I know we're reading Cat's Cradle in English class next month, so that'll be convenient. And I'll be sure to look up the others.

I loved perks of being a wallflower! it's one of my top 10:)

[FiveAwesomeYAFans]

@MissIcia Hm, probably a 9.5 out of 10. That's pretty amazing (but not surprising) it's been your favorite for so long. Thank you for the suggestions! I'll definitely check these out.

I'm 20 now, and the Perks of Being a Wallflower has been my favorite book since I was 13. If you could give it a rating on a number scale, what would it be? By the way, you can never read too much YA, but if you want something good to read, try out Small Town Punk by John Sheppard or Stoner and Spaz by Ron Koertge.
