    I know that's not what you mean by 'angsty teen' literature but i'm such an angsty teen myself that i just don't care

    Anything Palahniuk has ever written. Bukowski - "Tales of Ordinary Madness" was a godsend growing up, although his poetry and novellas are all good if you're an unhappy young man. I liked Kerouac when I was about seventeen, although that's not particularly angsty. Most of HST's stuff, though he remains my favourite writer to this day. Try "...Campaign Trail '72" if you fancy an insightful, humourous and ultimately pensive observation of American politics. Those were my staples.

    >"...Campaign Trail '72"

    I've been really interested to read this for several months now; I keep forgetting to buy it though.

    >Looking For Alaska
    Also been interested in this one. Is it actually worth the time? I was hoping for an adolescent story more pensive than the rest...

    If you are an 'angsty teen', Nietzsche will do perfectly.

    You can get a copy of "...Campaign Trail" off Play or something for about £3. It gets quite heavy at the two-thirds point, but stick with it, focus on what's being said and you'll come out the other end a little smarter, having enjoyed some fantastic writing. In many ways it was the pinnacle of his career, proving his humanitarian, idealistic nature and his dedication to the truth. Unfortunately it also broke him, and he was never quite as good afterwards.

    please don't judge a book by its subculture.

    Palahniuk is awesome.

    He's really not that good. His prose is dull, and it's painfully obvious that he writes all his books backwards. Everything is constructed in such a way as to be shocking, a parallel for alienation, or to indulge a particularly juvenile sense of humour. Who else is that for, if not for angsty teens?

    Catcher in the Rye is the best 'teen angst' novel ever written.

    Anything else by Chuck Palahniuk. Although it's not angsty or teen.

    Then again you have Damned by Chucky P which is about a teen girl who's far from angsty but still fucked up in her own way.

    it kind of works both as a book for angsty teens and as a statement about angsty teens.

    Anything by Cory Doctorow. He was self-aware/cash-hungry enow to realise that though and start inserting parents/first sexual encounters into his plodding manchild novels, thus rendering them into award winning YA lit.

    Not Battle Royale, surprisingly. Might be partly the rough as arseholes translation, but it doesn't get into any of the psychology of the kids involved.

    Is this really angsty teen lit? I've been putting it off (as I have with all things beat), but I want to read it before the movie comes out.

    The road is good. A lot of people just hate the beats ebcause they don't give a fuck about traditional literature.

    Fuck haters.

    Kerouac is an okay guy. Although On The Road is one big "hey I knew Burroughs, Ginsburg and other cool cats who did some fucked up shit."
    But it's still good.

    Ulysess gets my vote for teen angst bullshit.

    I've heard Dharma Bums is much better, but I'll look into both regardless.

    Still haven't read Ulysses, not a single fuck given. Though I feel like I should slog through it sometime, if only to understand the beginnings of the doorstopper novel.

    ignoring your painfully dumb opinions, there were definitely very long novels before ulysses. even in the 100 years before when the novel as such was being developed. i mean, proust was already publishing before ulysses started to come out, just for one obv example.

    Fernando Pessoa's "Book of Disquiet" is pretty bleak.

    Also Plath's The Bell Jar is classic teen an her literature.
