List for University Bound student/curious reader (aka Me)...

I am 17, a Senior in high school (last year of secondary), and headed to a prestigious American university in the autumn.

Despite my high marks and "high achievement" (whatever that is), I don't feel well read—in fact, I haven't read on my own time since Freshman year! I've started making some leaps thanks to what little the AP curriculum has supplied, but it has not been enough. I've read and enjoyed Hamlet, Ender's Game, Fight Club, the Artemis Fowl and Percy Jackson series, Life of Pi, and John Green books. I am currently on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (and I love it!)

Can you please suggest 10-15 books for me to read across any genre? (Poetry, non-fiction, classics, philosophy…it matters not, only that you enjoy it and think it would benefit me in this new life.)
