I know this seems strange but Rivers you should read the Holy Bible cause just listening to the stories enlightens you and hearing about what Jesus says it just brings you peace and I myself am an amateur musician and i felt like i could create a beautiful peace of work.

Well I'm only 12 but I like Running Wild by Michael Morpurgo, I read it when I was 9 and it's my childhood favourite. I also like Beowulf but I don't know who it's by :P

Clearly this is on the dark side but its inspired me .Anything by Edgar Allan Poe or research the bubonic plague .The book impulse is good i dont know who its by but it was excellent.

I'd recommend the following book that was illustrated by Edward Gorey.

The Hunger Games books (though already mentioned, sorry) are really powerful. Also, books by Marcus Zusak, especially The Book Thief and I Am The Messenger are awesome.

**Also, David Sedaris is a beast :)
