Any good book suggestions?

Question

I'm 14 but don't expect me to be into Twilight or something. I read high above my level. I just finished The Petting Zoo by Jim Carroll and now I've run out of books to read. My favorite genre is realistic fiction involving some kind of psychological or mental journey with many dynamic characters. My favorite authors are Jim Carroll, J.D. Salinger (not just Catcher but also his short stories), and my guilty pleasure John Green. My favorite books are Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger, Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly, It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, and my newest favorite The Petting Zoo by Jim Carroll (I liked it more than The Forced Entries and Basketball Diaries) So do you have any book suggestions? They don't have to be in that specific genre they just have to be well written and interesting.
