Read!

Bildungsroman: the coming-of-age novel. Examines the progagonist's emotional, psychological, mental, etc. growth as he or she obtains adulthood.

If you're interested, try: Anne of Green Gables, The Great Gatsby, A Clockwork Orange, Kidnapped, A Room with a View, Lord of the Rings, To Kill a Mockingbird, or even Harry Potter.  Or any of an infinite list of other titles, really.

My favorites include "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy," "Speak," "Wintergirls," "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "Stargirl," and "The Book Thief."

One of my favorite genres of literature.
