I have tons of favorite books but for your age you absolutely must read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It's a newer book and it's beautifully written, don't let the whole "vampire" thing scare you, it's nothing dark and spins a whole new light on that type of story. It is also a romance novel with no smut at all. It kept me emotionally attatched, which to me is the most important element in a good book.

My all time favorite is A Clockwork Orange. If haven't read that and you've got some endurance, try it.
I also dig One Flew Over the Cuckcoo's Nest and Atlas Shrugged.
Or if you're looking for something modern and crazy, House of Leaves is awesome-sause.

I liked The Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean Auel. Every teenage girl I have recommended it to has really liked it. I also loved Bridget Jones' Diary, Pride and Prejudice, and The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan. Oops...that's more than one.

I'd have to recommend Heinlein's "Stranger In A Strange Land," the uncut version. It's funny, poignant, and extremely thought-provoking.

"Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien (best fantasy book ever)
"the Iliad" by Homer (grandaddy of all books)
"Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk (hilarious)
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey (all-around great book)
"The Killer Angel's" by Shaara (historical novel about the battle of Gettysburg)

The Bible....and The Dictionary.
I've read science, art, scripts, biography's, and more.
I still keep reverting back to the 2 I've named.

The Counte of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Rich plot, great characters, suspense, murder, love, revenge, it's all there.
