Coming of age books

Im looking for some coming of age books
Ones ive read:
Harry potter (a bit obvious)
Abhorsen trilogy
his dark materials
Tamora Pierce (various series)
looking for similar
inb4 underage b&, no age limit for /book/

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss was fucking great, even though it basically is one huge cliché. It just _worked_, and I loved the style.
Though it is the first of a trilogy and the only one out, yet.

Also try Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series... and if you don't mind some sci-fi, get the Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold and maybe have a look at E.E. Knights Vampire Earth (although the coming of age part of these doesn't take that long).

Ah, shit, nearly forgot about these: Jim Butcher's high fantasy series "Codex Alera" is good & fits your bill, too.

thanks anon, Tamora Pierce is fairly cliché also, but i like it. im also a fan of jim butchers dresden iles but never tried the codex alera series. even though i was looking a bit more fantasy direction, ill try some of the scifi stuff also

Yeah, I like Dresden Files too .. urban fantasy in general, even. Though it often does tend to have wayyy too much romance in it, there are good exceptions to this. CBA to make a list now though, maybe tomorrow, if you want moar.

Humm, I haven't actually read any of those, but I'll try

Insignificant speck becomes something more:
David Eddings Belgariad
Raymond E Feist Magician
JV Jones Book of Words
Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn

Guy finds path in life:
RA Salvatore Dark Elf
Robin Hobb Farseer (kind of)

Other:
Glen Cook Swordbearer, farmboy learns that life can be pretty shitty too
RA MacAvoy Damiano & Damiano's Lute (this one is a bit iffy though)

just the stuff im looking for, ive already read belgariad and most of the riftwar series, ive read robin hobb but was not quite what i waas hoping for, jv jones looks good for the moment though

i also enjoyed th deeds of paksenarrion by elizabeth moon

a song of ice and fire by grr martin

a song of ice and fire, though at the end of the 4th bk i couldn't figure out who the hero was supposed to be anymore

Kim - Rudyard Kipling

Anything by Hermann Hesse

Fuckin' A Separate Peace. Good. "Coming of age" = bildungs roman

Daenerys Targaryen

Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson.

The last short story is the definitive coming of age story, but read the rest of the book if you have time first, since the last story kind of brings everything together.

The Diamond Age

MOTHERFUCKING YOUNG MERLIN BY BARRON MOTHERFUCKERS

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
