Anyone reccomend books similar to these books/movies...?

So from the title you can understand I'm looking for any number of books that are appropriate for a guy(literally nothing like 50 Shades series...). I'm 15 years old and I pretty much enjoy fantasy, adventure, action, comedy, mystery, mental disorders&psychosis.

The Black Swan - I love how twisted the main character is within her own brain. I enjoy the symbolism.

The Da Vinci Code series - I already own all 5 of the books and any book/series similar to this would be much appreciated!

I Am Number Four (series) - Once again I own all 3 books in the series and I would like to have another series similar to it - whether it be super powers, teenage life, aliens, teen romance, etc.

Grimm Fairytales - I love the REAL stories before they were Disney-fied. Any modern retellings are a must (such as "Cinder" or Zombie versions).

Any comedic action books, parody books (think Pride,Prejedice and Zombies), zombie apocolypse stories or anything close to those genres. BOOKS ONLY!

Best Answer will be rewarded with 10 points or whatever.

BQ - what is your personal favorite book or series?

    If you like the twisted-ness of black swan then you might want to read 'Life as we Knew it'. It is a Trilogy, the first two books are quite hopeful but have a darker back story and show how Miranda (the main character of book 1 and 3) is changing and worrying about how, and if, her family will survive. She is unsure of what will happen to her dad and his girlfriend and their child, and she thinks about how her world is becoming smaller and smaller.

    She is twisted from a regular american (country) schoolgirl into something else that I have never really read about before.

    Artemis Fowl is good too, Artemis's slightly cruel nature does not seem to actually disappear, although he does stop seeing himself as a criminal mastermind and then prefers to given the title of 'Juvenile genius'. Though he never really looses that ruthless streak. (Except for Orion. Anyone would have to remember that no one can keep their dignity with someone like that parading around in your head)

    I would also recommend Skulduggery Pleasant. The main Character, (Valkyrie, despite the series name. Purely because of the awesomeness. Books 2,3,4,5,6,7 are better than number 1.

    The Millennium trilogy AKA The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. Excellent books.

  • Two words and one letter World War Z, about the zombie apocalypse, but doesn't make me want to tear my eyes out. It was satisfied my father my older sister and I (15). There is also gonna be a movie of it. Oh and Ender's Game I heard that book was really good, too bad my library won't can't get their copy turned in.

    Try "The Golden Compass"

    It's thrilling, amazing and very well written. It's a triology, where "The Golden Compass" is the first book. Philip Pullman is the author.

    Read cold fire by dean koontz. It's a psycological thriller. All I can say is that it's amazing and I think it'll suit u based on what u wrote.

    That's all that comes to mind right now...
