  Hi Unicorn......you love reading? Guess what.....you are one of my fav now...:-)
  
  You ask for books....uhmmm...
  Lets see...how about starting with some good classic?
  Trust me, they are still the best around..
  
  Try to read great romances like:
  Anna Karenina (Tolstoy)
  Emma Bovary (Flaubert)
  Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte)
  The Notebook (Sparks)
  
  Some teens oriented books are:
  "The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis.
  "Hidden Camera," Zoran Zivkovic (its light mystery, makes you think).
  "West with the Night," Beryl Markham, its good non-fiction romance/adventure, as is
  "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D. (she now writes for "Mademoiselle").
  "Hope Rising" and "Bridge Called Hope," Kim Meeder, might be good, they're true stories about teens and horses.
  
  The Little Prince  (a classic from Saint-Exupery)
  
  Did you read the Dark misteries trilogy?
  -The Golden Compass
  -The Subtle Knife
  -The Amber Spyglass. They are great, mystery, fiction, some hint of romance here and there but not too much, the heroine is a young girl lookign for her roots and her father.
  
  "A Spell for Chameleon" has the most modern romance of these (teen). A large portion of Vance also has plenty of romance
  
  Other classics are:
  Tithe
  Ironside
  Eragon (love it )
  Eldest
  Dark angel
  Howl's moving castle
  The phantom of the opera (superb)
  
  There are way too many good books out here...but if you Google what you are looking for you will have endless lists of good books.
  
  For me, just few of my favorites.....Marguerite Duras, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Paulo Coelho, Isabela Allende, Pablo Neruda.
  
  There is a whole world of books out there..go and grab one...:-D

  I don't know the books you mentioned, but from what I can make of them, I'd suggest Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and Exquisite Corpse by Poppy z. Brite.
  
  Other good books....
  Fairyland- Paul j. MacAuley
  Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- Hunter S. Thompson
  Down and Out in Paris and London- George Orwell
  Cloudstreet- Tim Winton
  The Man Who Was Thursday- G.K. Chesterton
  Lolita- Vladimir Nabokov
  Mother Tongue- Bill Bryson
  Six Easy Pieces- Richard Feynman.
  
  Hope those are a good place to start.
