Looking for new books?

I want thought provoking books that will make me stare at the novel afterwards still taking it all in. I have read,

Eleanor and Park

Tell the Wolves I'm Home

The Night Circus

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

And yes, I have read the John Green novels and hated Looking for Alaska.

I DON'T WANT ANY SARAH DESSEN BOOK OR NICHOLAS SPARKS!!!

I also do not want any cheap romance books or sci-fi novels like Divergent and Hunger Games.

Also, I was not a fan of If I Stay so please don't suggest that.

I want heartbreak. I want to cry. I don't want a poorly written novel written for the sake of marketing to teenagers.

    After You'd Gone by Maggie O'Farrell. It is a tragedy about the London Bombing.

    The Coffee Painter by Veronica Schreiber. It is like a sad, sad character study about a drunk young female artist.

    Both books made me cry and they are written well.

    The Scarlet Letter

    http://www.alaknas.com/read.php?bid=268d27cd49f0ff...

    The Scarlet Letter (1850) is Nathaniel Hawthorne's romantic novel set in 17th-century Puritan Boston. It is the story of Hester Prynne, an adulteress who struggles to create a new life of dignity and repentance. She is forced to wear a red "A" on her chest as a sign of her sinful act. The Scarlet Letter is considered one of the fundamental - if not the greatest - works of American literature, and American highschool students have been forever forced to read it. For all of its distinction however, the Scarlet Letter is a novel - as far as action goes - in which next to nothing happens. The narrative involves Pryne's attempt to resolve the torment caused by her affair with the minister Arthur Dimmesdale, in the years following the episode, but the affair itself is not in the novel, and is only alluded to.

    Have you read To Kill a Mocking Bird?

    Yeah, probably, but thats the only one I could think of that isn't John Green or sci-fi
