The Shannara series. I read the first when I was 14, so you should be able to handle it...

A Song of Ice and Fire- A Game of Thrones

Of Mice and Men

The Grapes of Wrath

A Clockwork Orange

A Brave New World

Lord of the Flies

Animal Farm

The Da Vinci Code

Angels and Demons

Some of the above might be a tad over your head but you could probably handle em. It might also help us if you tell us a genre that you prefer...or something...

I've also heard that Slaughterhouse Five is a great book but I have yet to read it.

Really? Could you explain why? Not trying to start anything, I'm just genuinely interested. I read it when I was around his age and...I didn't really like it much...at all really...

I found The Alchemist to be ass-hat. Loved The Catcher in the Rye though that's definitely one to read.

Sweet Merciful Jesus Christ, Catcher in the Rye?!? That book was horrific!

Greatest book ever written: The Godfather, by Mario Puzo. Better than the movie, and that's saying something.

I don't think I bonded more with the characters in any other book than this one. I really sympathized with the situation of George having to take care of Lennie and sticking with his best friend even if it meant losing jobs or having to run away. The ending was really good as well. Lennie:cry:

There a lot of people who hate everything, but the Catcher in the Rye really pisses people off when they can't relate to Holden at all.

If you haven't already, you should definitely read The Outsiders. That and Fallen Angels are 2 of my favorite books.

1984, The Stranger, The Third Policeman, A People's History of the United States are some of my favorites, the latter being non-fiction and should be required reading for american high schoolers.
