I'm a reader, always have been since I learned how. It was my first legitimate hobby, and one that remains to this day. Anyway, I really have no clue what types of books do you want us to recommend. What kind of genres are you interested in? Do you want something based on reality, fantasy, horror, comedy, science-fiction? Typical modern teenagers(that speak English) use a version of the language that consists of extremely limited vocabulary, a lot of useless acronyms and slang. It would be extremely hard to find a quality books that contains that type of writing, as most self-respecting writers would commit ritualistic suicide before adopting the language of the modern teen(coming from the nineTEEN year old loner here
). As far as I know Stephen King isn't afraid to use curse words in his books(sadly I haven't read anything from him except The Shining, and I haven't finished it yet. And so far I'm a little underwhelmed), and he is considered a good writer. It would be a good start to get something from him, provided you can read horror stories. I believe "It" dealt with younger protagonists, maybe you could start there? Elaborate and we'll try to help, I doubt I'm the only one here that reads books
