I just finished "Perks of Being a Wallflower" seven minutes ago. Very simple yet profound, and I could relate as a writer, a freshman in high school, and being at a stage in my life where I'm still trying to find my place.
I pick up "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller from time to time whenever I'm looking for a little coffeehouse writer inspiration, this would be my third or fourth time through. A great read if you're the unorthodox, nonconformist type.
I also checked out an anthology of collected poems by Walt Whitman. I'm reading the "Leaves of Grass" section now.
