I have just finished Life of Pi and am now looking for another book to read. Keeping in mind that I am sixteen but will read just about anything does anyone have any suggestions?

Saponification

You seem fairly mature, so I'm not going to coddle you with my recommendations. Some of this stuff will maybe be a bit questionable in the eyes of some, but you're a teen: you should dig that.

The Beach Alex Garland
The Tesseract Alex Garland
Vernon God Little DBC Pierre
Microserfs Douglas Coupland
Hey Nostradamus! Douglas Coupland
Only Forward Michael Marshall Smith
Good Omens Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
The Catcher in the Rye J.D. Salinger
Fight Club Chuck Palahniuk
Invisible Monsters Chuck Palahniuk
Syrup Maxx Barry
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Mark Haddon

If you liked The Life Of Pi, I'd recommend Chaos, by James Gleick.

Similarly to The Life Of Pi, Chaos is one of those rare books that makes mathematics interesting.

(Interestingly, the first result that Google returned when I looked for the book was Gleick's own homepage... which made for an interesting read in itself)

I've looked up all of these books now and I'm not liking the sounds of any of them. I'm looking for something a bit lighter and brighter. Your classic hollywood narrative type of story. Any ideas?

Kikster

lighter and brighter? then try and see if a book called "come together" suits you better... is really funny, and wrote by two points of view instead of just one. pretty hilarious, I read when it first came out and I was about your age.

Ben elton - blast from the past. its funny, witty, mysterious, light but also very much a very fulfilling read.

Or Stephen fry -- Moab is my washpot. although its more of half an autobiography about his life gowing up and going to prison etc.
