So I'm a teen, new to reading and I really aspire to be writer (novelist and script writer). Here are my top 5 in my bucket list to get started, based on all the hype I've seen:
1) Atomic Habits, James Clear
2) When Breath Becomes Air, Paul Kalanithi
3) Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
4) Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
5) Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry
What are y'all's thoughts??
PS: pls be nice 🙂

My teen just read Fahrenheit 451 so I did too. It is decent but long winded. They had to read it for school.
When I was a teen I found myself reading a lot of self help. The one that I found huge actionable change in was Atomic Habits, so I do recommend you give that a read.
Otherwise my follow up suggestions depend on the question of – what kind of things do you want to write? Based on the genres you want to write, seek out the top authors & books from that category (for example, dystopian fiction: 1984 by Orwell, and Brave New World by Huxley), and have a read through and see what works / doesn’t.
Fahrenheit 451 is a good read, as is Lonesome Dove, however I recommend you steer clear from the latter for now, it’s not a complex read but it either clicks with you or it doesn’t. If you do give it a read, if you don’t like it by page 50 or so, leave it. I can promise the remaining 900 aren’t worth it if you don’t enjoy it
You’re so cute and that’s a great list. But you’re going to read a loooooot of books in your life baby.
