I recommend Lost in Place , The Botany of Desire , and Shade's Children . Lost in Place is about a kid living in the suburbs who wants to become a buddhist monk and has an interesting account of his introduction to pot, though the book isn't about that at all. It's a good story of life.

The Botany of Desire deals with plants adaptations to make humans care for them. The book works in sections, for example one section is Desire: Power Plant: Potato . I skipped to Desire: Intoxication Plant: Marijuana , it is an outstanding read if you're at all passionate or curious about getting high. The author himself confesses at a certain point while he's writing that he's stoned. Any gardener would enjoy this book written by a veteran green thumb, so pick it up.

I read Shade's Children in middle school and flipped the **** out loving it. It is a superb science fiction piece (would be a kickass movie) by Garth Nix, this book is the most sophisticated he's written (Nix is primarily a young adult author). The book has terrific violence and some great cursing here and there. It has sex and shrunken testicles from steroids. It has a group of alien people who enslave humanity to turn them into brutes for their mindless war games against one another. What more do you want, read it - it's a fun book.
