Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Depends on how serious you are. I turned 15 in April, I read Anna Karenina from mid 14 to early 15, including constantly losing the book. Honestly, the only things that are kind of hard to keep track of are the names, but you end up with a sufficient, if vague, idea of who everyone is.

The Brothers Karamazov - by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, another Russian. I liked this one even if I found the theology a bit boring

The Idiot - Dostoyevsky again. I only got halfway through this, then it turned out some moron had ripped ten pages out of my library copy. Haven't had a chance to return to it but it's cool.

Russian novels aren't actually that difficult, they just sound very intimidating and they like to randomly start referring to people by nonsensical nicknames (Alexis = Sasha???)

For lighter stuff, I'd recommend:

The Peshawar Lancers by S.M Stirling. In the late 19th century a massive meteor strike alters the climate dramatically. The British Empire ends up assimilating in to India. Cool sci-fi kind of thing.

Island in the Sea of Time by S.M Stirling. Through some weird twist of physics, Nantucket is sent back to the Stone Age. It sounds really stupid, but it's actually a very good book and somewhat informative.

H.P Lovecraft was a pulp horror writer of the 1920s and 1930s. He wasn't really appreciated until after he was dead, but he's had a tremendous influence on modern horror. He's actually not the greatest writer (in Charles Dexter Ward, he goes on for about five pages about how pretty Providence is, and uses phrases like, "otherwordly, betentacled abomination,") but I think he's pretty awesome and his ideas are simply brilliant.

The Savage Wars of Peace by Max Brooks is a real nerd book, but pretty narrative. It's about the small wars in America's history that nobody thinks about, but he lays it out as a good story with some real humor.

If a book has Terry Pratchett's name on it, read it.

That's all I can think of for now. Sorry if some of these seemed too nerdy. The thing is, with old books, it can be rough in the beginning getting used to the different sentence structure, but once you settle in its easy.
