I was worried about them missing out on the classics and so I have given them books by Shakespeare ( started out with kid versions which helped - and they actually seemed to get it ), then Mark Twain, Hemingway, Crane and other american lit authors. The classic that they loved the most was Beowulf - they totally could picture it because of the video games they had been playing. That was the one that surprised me the most.
But for fun they love the action, sci-fi/fantasy books. My oldest son is currently reading the Watchmen.
PS All of these books pretty much deal with mayhem and monsters. So if you have a more tender hearted teenage son then I would recommend the Shadow Children Series and Peak.

Something else that kind of made me read more - cheesy, yes, but worth looking into is comic books - they give you a sense of drama and something to always look forward to each month. I'm an X-men fan (Marvel Comics). Wildstorm Comics has some cool art and interesting storylines that a teen boy might be into. Hope that helps!!

A GREAT take on the Arthurian legend.

The Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony
This one starts with On A Pale Horse, which is about Death (and how he gets his job) and goes through other immortals such as Time, War and Earth, and Evil. Great great series and certainly gave me a different viewpoint of these topics.

Samuel Clemens (writing as Mark Twain) was certainly one of the best authors the USA has ever produced, particularly with respect to satire, which is a very important genre for becoming a sophisticated thinker.
His writing has the rare ability to make me actually LOL after having become so jaded by modern culture (especially people who type LOL a lot). ;-)
