The Classics
These are the books that you may have read in school. However, they are some of the all-time greats in my opinion. They've been added to the literary canon for a reason.

Examples:
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
