Great Expectations, I LOVE IT SO MUCH.I think some schools give that to english honors students, but it's so great.
And yeah I would somehow choose something religous, like the Torah, Koran, Bible...I dont know.
Teenagers need to start thinking (or well the ones in my school should start to think.)

I'd recommend Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. It is by Chris Crutcher. I think it covered real life issues and made even the most insentive people i know feel something. There were honest to god tears at some points in the book, and cheering and laughter in others. It is contraversial on some points, but this is great, because it makes people think.

Reading tastes change a lot between the ages of 13 and 19 ... so it's not an easy question to answer. However, I'd recommend "Justin Thyme" by Panama Oxridge for 13-15 year olds, and "Just in Case" by Meg Rosoff for 16-19 years olds. They're both very different yet equally compelling!

"The Box Man" by Kobo Abe, because it will fascinate teenagers, teach them that not all good writing begins in their own language, that not all great books are dull, and that not all great writing makes complete sense.
