Answer 1

Answer 2

there's a website: http://www.listsofbests.com/lists/home/b...

that lists the winners of the pulitzer, hugo, newberry medal winners.  It's a good place to start.  

after that it's all subjective to your tastes as a reader.  

Answer 3

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

B&N Classics

Answer 4

Ask your teacher for his/her suggestions.  They did have to study literature to become English teachers.  ;)

Barring that, I would just drop by your local bookstore and read the "classics" that are always being reprinted.  The advantage is that they usually have a ton of notes/guides printed to help you through difficult parts as well as being genuinely good books.  

Some of my favorite books in high school were The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451.  See what genres you like and then go from there.

Good luck.

                                        Try The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

                                         Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

                                        Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

                                         Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

                                         To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

                                         The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossieni
