Any of Orson Scott Cards Ender books, Frank Herberts Dune books, almost any Arthur C Clarke or Isaac Asimov, maybe even Larry Niven (Ringworld books), Jerry Pournell - or the books Niven/Pournell wrote together
For fantasy, try the Temeraire books of Naomi Novik, or try to find Lies of Locke Lamore by Scott Lynch, or fantasy legends like DAvid Gemmell, C J Cherryh or Michael Moorcock (but with Moorcock stick to the Elric novels, some of his stuff is adult only)

Yeah, most of the books listed up there are....not too good. Harry Potter is too easy to read. I would reccommend the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series. However, that is a five-book series, totaling up to about 800 pages. The first one is titled "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Also, read HG Wells, "The Time Machine," or "The War of the Worlds." Or really anything else by him.

Anything from R. A. Salvatore (Dark Elf Trilogy) or Terry Brooks( Sword of Shannara)
Also, there are the great oldies in The Dragonlance series By Wiess and Hickman.

Fantasy: "Titus Groan" and "Gormenghast" by Mervyn Peake. The final book of the series, "Titus Alone," is not as good in my opinion. Horrific goings on among the earl, the countess, their son Titus and daughter Fuchsia, the doctor, his sister, the schoolmaster, the butler, the chef, and the kitchen boy.

You might try The Sword of Shannara and the others in the set by Terry Brooks. Some of them are out of print, but I think they've published the Sword again.
Or one of them that I really enjoyed was Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Excellent books.

I enjoyed reading the Harry Potter series (all six of them) and I'm seventeen right now, and I'm awaiting the release of the seventh and last book.
I suggest you read the Harry Potter series, and if you have, then I would suggest going to your local library and asking them where their section of Young Adult Fantasy/Science Fiction books are and then look through and see which one catches your eye.
Hope that helps, and enjoy, it's nice to know I'm not the only teen who reads these days :)
