Any book recommendations for college freshman?

I am a college freshman. I recently read a book called Saving Max by Antoinette van Heugten (about a boy with Aspergers who everyone thinks is crazy, so when he is found in a room covered in the blood of a young boy everyone points to him as the murder) which I loved. It reminded me of when I read books like House Rules (about a boy with Aspergers who is charged with the murder of his speech therapist) and Handle with Care (about a girl with Osteogenesis Imperfect, brittle bone disease, who's parents say it was their doctors fault for not finding it before she was born and sue the doctor for malpractice) by Jodi Pociult. I am currently looking to read the book Different Seasons by Stephen King, only because I saw all of the movies that it was based off of and LOVED them all!

But i was looking for more books like Saving Max, House Rules, and Handle with Care.

Please help!!! I am very bored and need something to do!

    The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night Time seems perfect for you. Give that a whirl. :)

    If you like Stephen King, be sure to read The Shining, The Cell, It and Pet Sematary.

    Also try The Millennium Series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books)

    Recently, I finished Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles series. The TNT tv show is based off the characters, but the books are not light-hearted like the show. They're intense crime novels.

    The Jumbo Duct Tape Book. It has great uses for duct tape.
