Neuromancer, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Slaughter House 5, and Catch 22 should all be read at 15-17. Fight Club should only be read when you are mature enough to really get it, and that depends a lot. But probably 17 as well

Also, Lolita at age 25 -- young enough to remember teenagehood, old enough to know the pangs of adulthood.

catch 22 was too boring to finish. I agree, with the rest, though.
