Hello.

Hello, I'm Nick.

I'm nearly 17, I never read a book in my life besides what I had to read in school. I joined these forums for help to find a book I would be interested in. I guess I could say I have a spread-out vocabulary, So I might be able to start out already in reading advanced books. A few of my favorite movies are, requiem for a dream, fight club, american psycho, .. So I would probably be interested in reading self biographies about people with severe mental problems, drug problems, or just plain.. Self biographies about weird people that are interesting in some way. Can anybody help me out?

Thanks-

Since you enjoyed the movie Fight Club, why not read the book? Here is incentive to do so: the ending is different. If you liked Fight club then you'll probably enjoy the rest of the stuff by Chuck Palahniuk.

Also check out Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

I can't really recommend any autobiographies by mentally disturbed folks. I am sure there are lots of autobiographies/memoirs out there by former drug addicts but I can't think of any titles.

Oh, and welcome aboard!

I would also recommend Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, though again, fiction and neither are really easy books, I guess.

I really like the film Fight Club a lot myself, though I haven't read the book yet. But I have read a couple of books by Palahniuk, and I have enjoyed them. Pretty twisted imagination.

Those are two good recommendations.

thanks everyone :] just what i was looking for to start me off.
