The Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books (elementary School)
John Grisham (HS)
Micheal Criton (I read this book 10 times in 9th grade I was obsessed)
Where the Red Fern Grows (best book ever made me cry)
The Choose your Own Adventure Books (its a different book every time)
Lord of the Flies
Nancy drew was alright i read like one
Sweet Valley High and the Babysitters Club books were alright too but i out grew them pretty quick---i was never that girly and didnt really relate to the books.
Most of the books i read in school i really liked so those reading lists would be good as well (Huck Finn, The Prince, Wrinkle in Time, Chronicles of Narnia, cant think of the rest now).

As a teenager, I would love to read Danielle Steel novels. I read in total like 30 novels during that period of my life. In my twenties, I would read authors like Nicholas Sparks and Candance Bushnell. I have also begun to read pulitzer prize winning books each year. A really good book that I thought was a facinating read was Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.

I'm abnormal probably. When I was a teenager I was reading everything from contemporary horror by Stephen King to classical mythology to Dante's Divine Comedy.
