You ever hear of the neutron bomb?

I am looking for a book that deals with the theme of growing up. I'm talking about this awkward phase of the transition from the teenager self to becoming an adult. I've read The Catcher in the Rye(pretty good), The Perks of being a Wallflower(maybe I'm too old for this one)and On the Road (an amazing read) that all kind of deal with this theme. Anyone got any recommendations that helped them clear up some confusion in this weird stage of life?

First thing that came to mind was Ham on Rye by Bukowski. I don't remember it very well and it's been years since I've read it, but I'm pretty sure it fits the bill. Much, much bleaker than the ones you've listed, so fair warning.
