Sorry if this is sloppy to read xD....
1) The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod (5 books,) Its amazing!!! By: Heather Brewer. <-- Awesome Author!!!
If you love a young Vampire being hunted down for his power, that he doesn't quite know about much. ITS A GREAT BOOK! Romance, Action, Mystery, Addictive !
2) Beautiful, so breath taking!! By: Amy Reed <-- Such an detailed Author, you'll get rapped in her books immediately.
If you like a girl at 13 from a "New Girl" to "Beautiful Girl" and start doing drugs and hangs out with the wrong people.... A LOT of things. ITS TERRIFIC! Addictive, Teen, Romance-ish,
3) TWISTED By: Forgot, Sorry. <-- Amazing author, Amazing book.
A guy, who is on patrol because of spay painting the school's wall. I haven't read in so long, forgot, sorry.... BUT ITS TOTALLY GOOD Teen, Romace, realistic, addictive,
4) A Little Wanting Song By: forgot, sorry. <- I love this Author though, just can't pop up into my mind. This book is sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel in love with it on the first chapter!
I just can't explain what it's about much. AMAZING, TEEN, ROMANCE, SONG, LOVE

A contradictive statement. Beware the word "except".

Pretty much anything that is a part of Western Canon.
The Bible, but be aware of translation issues.

If you live in the United States:
"A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. It's a look at US history through the point of view of those that were oppressed and it's worth reading.
Also a lot of people have said 1984, and a lot of schools now make you read it but if you haven't you probably should. Same goes for other Orwell books, like Animal Farm. Just take it with a grain of salt, like all things.
Far more importantly though you should read "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."

Anything written by H.P Lovecraft
Beowulf
The Divine Comedy
And probably the best if shortest: The Art of War. While some might argue its not a book I included it due to the fact I've found no end to the ways to apply it in all things I've done.

Off the top of my head:
Any book by Jodi Picoult
The Messenger by Markus Zusak
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (It's similar to 1984)

Seriously guys, 1984 by George Orwell!
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kessy is also a great read, and one "school book" I'd purchase for myself and read over and over.
I'm also a fan of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. It can be a bit of a slog at first, but it is really interesting to see the beginnings of female heroines in literature. Plus, Jane's a pretty cool lady.
Now, I'm sure you guys want more contemporary stuff, so....
Since we're on an anime/manga/Japanese Culture related site, I REALLY recommend you read Battle Royale by Koushun Takami and Ring by Koji Suzuki. While you're at it, the entire Ring Cycle, Spiral, Loop, and Birthday. Dark Water wouldn't hurt either. Yes, it is THAT Ring and THAT Battle Royale and THAT Dark Water, as in the novels that inspired the films of the same name. I think that alone makes Ring worth reading, since you can see what helped start a worldwide boom in Japanese horror media. c: That and Battle Royale is just a great book that blows the movie out of the water, good as it is in its own right.
