I read those when I was like 12, I liked em.
Those are good too.
My personal favorite might be ender's game and related books, but I got lost at some point in the series.

I actually tried to help Piers Anthony find his long lost nanny. We talked off and on, but could never find her.

"Open the pod bay doors' Hal." "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave" that is one of my most favorite dialogues from a book ever.

DUNE
At least the first 3 of the trilogy.
Asimov and Clark are great too.
Cat's Cradle was fun

Dune is getting weird after Old Herbert died and his kid took over. It's becomming more fantacy style.

So I've heard, some people simply refuse to read the new ones. Herbert was a master of the written word, I can't see it being the same with him gone.

This is always a tough one, as one wants to list a looong list. But one fiction title always pops into my head 1st: Stranger in a Strange Land. I'll stop there.

Micheal Crichton is great, I was shocked when I found out that he had died (this was 2 years after it had happened, so I was a bit out of the loop). Blake, did you ever get your Sonar?

I read somewhere that he had, although seeing a book by him for sale brings questions. I shall investigate.
Edit: Okay, yes, unfortunately, he has passed away, but it wasn't until November 4, 2008 at the age of 66. The dates were wrong the first time I heard about it.

+1 for the Old man and the sea -- so soothing and deep, read it on the sea shore during my vacation in Spain last year.
Other than that:
The Master and Margarita
The Alchemist
Also looking forward to read The Idiot when I have time (I mostly read technical literature or articles online, probably like majority here
)
But these are all serious. Speaking of fun books, in my early teens I read Jurassic Park in two days. Dinosaurs were my craze at the time like lasers are now

Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow series by Orson Scott Card, Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, the Shannara series and Word/Void trilogy by Terry Brooks, anything from the Known Space(Ringworld) series by Larry Niven. Starwars books are good too.
