Ha good choice. Twilight sucks (and so does the rest of the series).
Shame you like Harry Potter.
Anyway, try Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon.
Looks at the life of a boy with autism.
Will educate you on other people's life. It's a fascinating read, I read it for my first time at 15, and have read it 8 or 9 times since then. Hope you'll try it!What are some good novels for a teenage boy to read?
Please let me know if you liked this book.

The Demonata Series
- by Darren Shan
Theres 8 of the 10 books out so far in the US. Theyre about demons, a little about werewolves. Slightly gruesome, a bit scary, but still heaps good and heaps funny.
Darren Shan Series
- by Darren Shan
Its either 12 books or four trilogies, about a kid who's a half-vampire (not as in born half, made half). NOTHING like twilight. Movie coming out in October, I think. Not pathetic either, it's actual one of those stories where its not ';and they all lived happily ever after'; all the time.
Skulduggery Pleasant Series
- by Derek Landy
REALLY easy read. Incredibly funny. 3 of 9 books in the series released so far. They're absolutely fabulous, even if a little childish.
The Hunger Games
- by Suzanne Collins
Honestly the best book I've read in a long long time. It's so emotionally pushing at times, sweet at others, action-packed, a bit twisted. But AMAZING. (and don't take note that Stephenie Meyer has commented on it.. she doesn't matter)
Read The Lightning Thief and the rest of the series by Rick Riordan. DO NOT READ TWILIGHT. It's unfair that it was even compared to Harry Potter. Harry Potter was amazing.
If you want something with more of a twist, read Fight Club, and other books by Chuck Palahniuk. Just a heads up; they are a bit nontraditional and radical... you may not like his style. Also, I would like to add it depends on how old you are. This book may not be appropriate for a 13 year old boy *it can be a bit inappropriate at times and have bad language* but it would be fine for a 16 year old to read.
Another good book is The Prince of Tides. It's size can be a bit intimidating, but it's awesome.
The Eragon series.
The Kite Runner.
To Kill a Mockingbird.
The Call of the Wild.
Books by Tom Clancy are pretty good.
That's pretty much all I got.
Maximum Ride is a great series. It has five books, and a sixth one is in progress. It starts with the Angel Experiment, and is so fun to read. They have a great balance of funny and serious, with a LOT of fighting, something I think teenage boys like.
Even if it doesn't sound like something you would want to read, read it anyways, it will be worth it.
Peace!
