Know any good books for a teenage girl?

I prefer darker or off-kilter things. For example my favorite movies are directed by Tim Burton, bands are Rise Against, My Chemical Romance things like that. I have a very wide range of prefered literature however. My favorites are Animal Farm, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Catcher in the Rye, House of the Scorpian, The Sea of Trolls, and a ton more. Please give me some suggestions on what I can read.Know any good books for a teenage girl?

well im a big reader, and right now i have a list of books that i want to read. i started to read some of the books on this list, and my personal favorites are Evermore, Wicked Lovely, and Tripping to Somewhere. If you like the kind of morbid or dark stuff, i really liked The Tithe, and Ironside. Those last two are by the same author, and related, but dont have to be read in that order. The Blue Girl, and Finding Alaska are also really great books. just type them into google to get the authors, because i cant remember who wrote them.





here are the rest of the books on my reading list.





Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side-Beth Fantaskey


Need-Carrie Jones


A Certain Slant of Light-Laura Whitcomb


Exit Here-Jason Myers


Lost It-Kristen Tracy


Thirteen Reasons Why-Jay Asher


Two-Way Street-LAuren Barnholdt


Blue Moon- Alyson Noel





Hope you find what you are looking for.
Try Veronika Decides to Die, by Paulo Cohelo (don't kill me if that's not spelled right). It's a fantastic book鈥揳 little on the creepy side鈥?you said you liked Tim Burton's work) but a classic. Also try 1984 by the same author as Animal Farm, or maybe some classics (you said you liked Alice in Wonderland) like Emma or Little Women.
If you like post-apocalyptic stuff, I recommend ';The Forest of Hands and Teeth.'; I would also recommend the Mortal Instruments Series, A Time for Dancing, and my favorite book of all, ';The Hunger Games.'; But I find that it's nice to read a really dark book, and then read something funny and amusing. Don't stick to one genre, thought if you do, Amazon has an excellent post-apocalyptic community with numerous books listed.
Mysteries are always a good choice. Robin Cook writes good medical thrillers; he is an M.D. so his books are very realistic and scary. Mary Higgins Clark writes some eerie stuff and Dean Koontz's book ';Watchers'; is a classic mystery that centers on a highly intelligent dog and a monster bent on destroying him. All of these have a little romance thrown in. Tony Hillerman writes mysteries that take place on and around the Indian reservations out west. You learn a lot of incidentals about the Navajos and surprisingly I fell in love with those books. They depict a quieter, simpler life and touch on an inner wisdom found in the characters. They are a great escape. Happy reading to you whatever you choose.
Just Listen by sarah dessen....its got a music theme which was one of the first things you mentioned..but it's not very academic.





A thousand splendid suns was FANTASTIC and very interesting as well as Slumdog Millionaire...much better than the movie.





My favorite is As I Lay Dying by Faulkner.





Haha try all!
';Catcher in the Rye'; is my favorite book ever.





Stuff I've read that you might like:


Ender's Game


The Fountainhead


The Monsters of Templeton


many books by Chuck Palahniuk
Here is a site of teen books you can read: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Books-Teen-G鈥?/a>
Try Edgar Allen Poe stories and Stephen King.





Shakespeare, if you can tolerate his writing, has some of the most exceptional tragedies.





';The Lovely Bones'; Alice Sebold
you'd probably like Neal Shusterman. Especially Full Tilt, The Downsiders, and probebly Duckling Ugly.


Then there's Poison by Chris Wooding


Umm cant think of more at the moment. hope i helped :)
If you can make it through, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a pretty dark ';classic'; book about an ax murderer. I enjoyed it.
1st obvious choice is TWILIGHT... the books are good trust me... i know sounds kinds lame but its a good saga
An extremely dark and wonderful book is ';Paint it Black'; by Janet Fitch. She is an amazing author. And if you like that book, read ';White Oleander'; by her as well.
Based on what you like i would reccomend, A Scanner Darkly- by Phillip K Dick, or any Hunter S. Thompson books
gardians of time trilogy.
