The Heroin Diaries. I'm not one to read, but someone suggested it to me, and I read it non-stop. It's about Nikki Sixx from Montley Crue and his battle from addiction of heroin and coke. It was pretty intense at time. So, thats my suggestion.

I'm assuming you actually give a flying fuck about books, literature, and knowledge in general:

Well you might not be advanced enough to fully grasp the whole concept, but the Ender's series is fantastic. Mind you it is advanced and can be hard to comprehend at first especially starting in the second and third books. You'll have to gradually ease in so you don't overload your mental capacity.

I dont know how old your are but if you want some amazing literature, a couple of my favorite books are Hemingways The Sun Also Rises. Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (the man is a genius imo one of the best writers ever). All Quiet on the Western Front. Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas is one of the greatest revenge stories of all time. If you are in the highschool age and not much of a reader look into the Hunger Games.

If u want fast paced action try some matthew reilly. Got 2 main character series which are "ice station". " Area 7" and "Scarecrow" which involve shane Schofield..... and "7 Ancient Wonders" , " 6 Sacred Stones", "5 Greatest Warriors" which are Jack West. he has a few stand alone novels to like "Temple"

Want some crime solving by a kick ass ex MP who is great with the ladies and kicks the shit out of the bad guys look at the books by Lee Child. I started with "Killing Floor"

Cosmos by Carl Sagan and Walden by Thoreau both books completely changed my outlook on the world and are pretty much must reads

Bump/threads. Robopocolypse is a nice one if you don't have the brain capacity to immerse yourself in complex strains of thought
