I began (as a pre-teen) with Jane Eyre. It is so immediate and draws you in by being (at first) about dysfunctional families and a boarding school.
My Mum (Head of English in a girls school at the time) suggested I tried Emma next. She is so annoying but in charge of her own destiny, being independently wealthy.
I moved on to weirder stuff after that - Castle Rackrent, Tristam Shandy, even Latin works (in Translation).
Orlando became a teen years favourite.

The works of William Shakespeare, but better to be lazy and just watch the plays or movie adaptations instead of reading it.

Ernest Hemingway, Tom Wolfe, John Updike, Gay Talese

Christopher Hitchers, Gore Vidal and William Buckley Jr, are all classics, and note that they all disagreed with each other.

And finally, Playboy and Penthouse, sadly out of print.
