Don't ask what has lead me to this point but it's been many years since I read it last 
I used to reread it due to updates, to refresh my memory of the plot.
I wrote like 10 cringe paragraphs of why I connect so deeply with HPMOR but realized no one is reading all that, and if you did, I probably wouldn't want you to anyway 
I wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter at 14 (or any other age) so I read HPMOR instead, I sneaked it onto my ereader lol 
I was an obnoxious hyperlexic nerd child. I haven't read Harry Potter to this day. I tried (when I first went to college), but it just wasn't the same. It felt like a weird fanfiction 
The first part was really funny, but I'm finding HPMOR much more depressing than the first time I read it. Is it because too many of the characters are too flat, manipulative, and mean? or because I know how things end up? 
So anyway, I need recommendations on something else to read 
but no smug "I hecking love Science" stuff because it's usually not good

Here's good stuff I enjoyed when I were a teen, always good for nostalgia:
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, the Bartimaeus trilogy, Leviathan, the Mortal Engines quartet, Discworld, Gaunt's Ghosts, Across the Face of the World, Mistborn, The Lies of Locke Lamora, the Thrawn trilogy, and Book of the New Sun (which you need to read like three times to at least)

Man Bartimaeus trilogy was some kino. Always love an author willing to yeet characters and not write cringe lords or goody twoshoes.
