I am 13, going into the 8th grade. I read James Patterson, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Jodi Picoult.
As for YA fiction, I like Twilight, Harry Potter, the Pendragon series, The Guardians of Time Trilogy, A Great And Terrible Beauty. I really don't like fantasy with elves or trolls. And I don't like the Chronicles of Narnia. I like fantasy that is based in reality. Science fiction is also good. And if there's humor there, that helps too.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I would strongly suggest "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. How about some old school stuff like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" Jules Verne, all readers/lovers of science fiction would do well to read him. I feel you would probably get some good exposure to some Egar Allen Poe, a true GIANT and MASTER of suspense/horror. You might also find H.P. Lovecraft interesting and lets not forget H.G. Wells.
Any young reader/writer/lover of the genre needs to have these firmly under their belt. Many of the authors you've listed will not stand the test of time like these that I have listed.
Good Luck and ENJOY!

For humor: "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett. Another good one: "Going Postal."
A great fantasy set partly in our world, partly in a strange alternate London: "Un Lon Don" by China Mieville.

try reading any book by John Saul, he writes science fiction/mystery novels, some of them are boring for the first 3 chapters but then you get so hooked you cant put the book down.
