Book Recommendations? (realistic fiction/memoirs)

I remember reading a trilogy in high school, by the author Kylie Chan

Hi, I've recently read In the dream house by Carmen Maria Machado and it's a great memoir!

I am writing a fantasy novel series and released the first book last year. I worked on it for over a decade, and am almost done the second book. I've pasted the link to Amazon below.

The stars beneath our feet! It's a really good book about this boy who's brother is killed. It's about how he deals with this. Mostly using legos. It feels so casual and real as you read it, it's really good.

No longer human 

some of my favorite memoirs are:

Survival the Killing Fields by Haing Ngor. It sounds a bit foreboding, but I picked it up because I had never really heard about the Cambodian genocide. The story chronicles a young Haing, an OBGYN living in the capital city when it gets invaded by communist Khmer Rouge. It's an amazing, sad story about the mans life before, during, and after the war. The author actually received an Academy Award for his acting in the movie based on his life, and was killed about 10 years later in downtown LA during a mugging. The book is so though-provoking, and so interesting, and has a great deal of history behind the entire uprising and made me cry so many times. 

Tuesdays with Morrie was a fantastic read. It was about this college professor who was dying from a terminal illness and how he chose to live out his days, and just his overall mindset throughout the process of dying. The book was written by a former student of the professor, and was considered the last "assignment" he ever completed, as he would add more to the book after his meetings with the professor on Tuesdays. 

I love Kevin Wilsons books. Some lean a bit toward fiction but most are realistic fiction. They're like Wes Anderson but unmedicated.

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

This doesn’t really fit memoir but it’s a pseudo-alternate history by Democratic Candidate Huey Long “My first few days in the White House” which is about Huey Longs plans after becoming president.

Check this out! https://a.co/d/aDQGbi0 

Don't ignore just cause I posted a link ;;this is my poetry book which serves as a memoire for my life you might think 29 is too young to have a memoire or even material for one, but I've been on my own since I was 13 and lived a wild, misfortunate life xx

The opposite of butterfly hunting!! it is literally so good and it will stay with you <3

catcher in the rye is a classic, not too sure about the memoir part, though. 

notes from the underground, because dostoevsky is always pretty interesting

try the outsider/the stranger by albert camus, it's a pretty fun and quick read if you're looking for something easy. 

frisk by dennis cooper is especially interesting :]

okay im like millones of years late but Free Lunch + Punching bag are SO AMAZING !!! also, The Poet X, + Somebody's Daughter are so good too

"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee

"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini

"When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi

"Becoming" by Michelle Obama

OMFG I LOVED STONE BUTCH BLUES 

In a similar vein of butch memoirs I really recommend Butch is a Noun by S. Bear Bergman

I also love Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, one of my favorite books of all time tbh. Another great memoir

so sad today by melissa broder ! it's a collection of personal essays so so good. also south and west by joan didion it's really good it's a collection of notebooks from road trips she went on with her husband to mississippi, louisiana and alabama in the 70's! 

I think you would really enjoy "i dont have a mouth and i must scream" by Harlon Ellison, its wierd surreal fantasy. Think old wierd web core, dystopian computer, its a whole ride.

I really enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, although there is some scenes that are just gut-wrenching, this is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. 

Any of Jenny Lawson's books are hilariously and well-written too. Really gives you a different perspective on life. 

I also recommend the Poison Bed and Girl, Interrupted.
