If I could go back in time I'd have you read the following;
>a river runs through it by maclean
>a month in the country by carr
>lost horizon by hilton
>the great gatsby by fitzgerald
>the sun also rise by hemingway
these are perfect coming of age core (not to mention some of the more underappreciated novels of the english language) for a younger reader and I wish I had read all of them at your age
if you liked marquez here's the speed run for magical realism (one of my favorite genres);
>ficciones by borges
>five modern noh plays by mishima
>pedro paramo by rulfo
>the dictionary of the khazars by pavic
>encyclopedia of the dead by kis
>the short stories of bruno schulz
>the trial by kafka
>ernst junger's post war work, eumeswil isn't entirely magical realism (and it's a bit dense) but it's my favorite
also if you like science fiction a canticle for leibowitz is an classic
