I am struggling to find more books that call to me. My last three reads were The Grapes of Wrath, The Nickel Boys, and Into The Wild— all of which I enjoyed, if that helps.
I’m mostly interested in literary fiction/ narrative non-fic but wouldn’t mind checking out something different.
So what are some good books to read at this age..

I read When Breath Becomes Air at that age and enjoyed it a lot.
East of Eden.
Also Slaughterhouse Five, it’s part fiction and part autobiographical of Kurt Vonneguts experience as a prisoner of war in Dresden.
Slaughterhouse-5 is always one of my first recommendations. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a safe bet too.
You could try other novels by Steinbeck like Of Mice and Men. It’s very short but very good.
I would try some other classics like:
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Outsiders by SE Hinton
Not a classic, but Ender’s Game might interest you as well.
