/mu/ here looking for books to inspire me.
What are some worthwhile books written from the perspective of a teenager?
I'm conditioned particularly to those that deal with the general struggles of adolescence rather than epics or sci fi/fantasy.
The Catcher in the Rye is probably the ultimate example of this genre.

I agree. This book is what inspired me initially and I'm looking for more similar.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Wizard/Knight by Gene Wolfe (It's fantasy, but patrician coming-of-age)

Seconding The Wizard Knight, also The Fifth Head of Cerberus by the same author could be worth a look.

>teen perspective
Things Fall Apart falls under that
if you want edgy Catcher in the Rye, Ham on Rye by Bukowski
Blood Meridian is really about The Kid coming into manhood (through total brutality of course)
