Anything by Michael Crichton (especially Timeline, the movie doesn't do it justice)
Anything by Stephen King (pay special attention to his earlier works, like Carrie, Salem's Lot, and It; those are generally the best)
I would recommend a few other authors as well, like Anne Rice, Nancy A. Collins, and Laurell K. Hamilton, but some might not consider those to be age-appropriate. Though in my case, I was already reading most of these authors at that age. It's really a matter of the level of maturity that the person has (as well as the wishes of their parents).
**************************************************
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

The summer I was 13 I broke my ankle. While my siblings were out playing, I was stuck on the sofa with my foot in the air.
They felt sorry for me!
HAH!
I rode out with the Rohirrim in "Lord of the Rings".
I got much much "Thinner"...(and didn't sleep for a week.) AND fought vampires in "Salems Lot".
I rode dragons with F'lar and Lessa on "Pern" and sang the crystal with "Killashandra".
I swashbuckled my way through "The Three Musketeers" and became an enduring fan of Dumas. It may seem a tough read at 14, but believe me, it's worth it!
Many happy reads!

the once future king is a good book by t h white
also the communist manifesto will change your point of veiw if you understand it
dhammapada is a book full of little sayings from buddha probably an online version, but its a good little book that makes you think and remember with little sayings, no paragrahs, easy reading.
i think my fav sayings are:
Not in the sky, nor in the mid-ocean, nor in a mountain cave, is found that place on earth where abiding one may escape from (the consequences) of one's evil deed.
and
Not in the sky, nor in mid-ocean, nor in a mountain cave, is found that place one earth where abiding one will not be overcome by death.
Simon:"If the battle was so horrible, why did he name the ship after it?"
Zoe:"Once you've been in serenity you never leave"
