"Jimmy The Kid" by Donald Westlake-a bit dated now, but a funny story if you can imagine the world without computers or cell phones. Westlake's other Dortmunder stories might be a bit too mature for you, or at least what your parents would be comfortable with.
Tony Hillerman's Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn mysteries are fantastic. I suggest starting with "The Listening Woman" and working your way up to his latest, "The Shape-Shifter."
Daniel Pinkwater's "The Snark-out Boys And The Bacconburg Horror" is a fun fast read. Really aimed at the early teens, it is just as much fun for adults.
Douglas Adam's "Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul" is very funny but not as insane as the "Hitchhiker's Guide" series.
Robert Asprin's "Another Fine Myth" is the begining of a great series of books.
Currently, it is available with the with the second "Myth" book a paperback. Also, Asprin's "Phuel's Company" is a good read if you like sci-fi.
Other good Sci-Fi:
"Dragon Riders of Pern" series by Anne McCaffrey
"Dune" by Frank Herbert
"The Price Of The Stars" by Debra Doyle and James D. MacDonald
"A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born" by Harry Harrison.
"The Stainless Steel RaT For President" by Harry Harrison
"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card

Let's see, 14...
Well, I love Dostoevsky and Dickens. But I realize that those are not for everyone.
Henrik Ibsen's plays are fun because they're so over the top. "Ghosts" is my favorite.
Lloyd Alexander's books are really good, too. Try the Westmark trilogy.
"The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón is also really wonderful.
"Le Grand Meaulnes," also known as "The Wanderer" and "The Lost Domain," by Alain-Fournier is a book that I recommend without reserve to any and all teenagers everywhere.

I'd have to recommend "Justin Thyme". It's heaps of fun and has a really cool 14 year-old girl in it called Robyn. Her brother, Justin, is a multimillionaire genius, but she stands no nonsense from him!!! My kids loved this book - and it's the first time since the last Harry Potter book that the WHOLE family have been reading one book together ... and laughing at the same jokes!

Egad! Don't limit yourself! Trawl selections worldwide at the excellent compilation of liberal arts at The Roll & Shuffle: http://pokerpulse.com/news/viewforum.php?f=12. Best advice: Start with P.G. Wodehouse, the favorite of most of the literary set, a crowd of notoriously tough customers all.

"The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle," by Avi. Charlotte is traveling to America in the 1830's, the only passenger (and only girl) on the ship. It's a seafaring story, with murder and mutiny.

I read this book when 14 and have reread it ten times since-now 40. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn-hope you like it.

How 'bout THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY? It's a medieval fantasy series. Lots of magic, mysticism and mayhem...and it has a smart young Irish lass as a co-main character.
