Clau, this is a Young Writers Society, what do you expect? Don't be too concerned about every book being on there, let's just let everyone nominate and have *our* own Top 100 of *our* members.

I second [i]The Perks of Being a Wallflower[/b]. I'd consider that 'classic', but it falls into the category of Good Things That Very Few People Read.

Bloody Jack- L.A. Meyer
Night- Elie Wiesel
Looking For Alaska- John Green
Breath- Donna Jo Napoli

I'll most certainly think of more, but those are the uber-favorites that come to mind at the moment.
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.

A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle

Of course, that was a series, right? At least, I recall that books such as A Swiftly Tilting Planet and A Wind in the Door were about the same people...gosh, I really need to reread these.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman :D
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark
well. This doesn't ACTUALLY have a series name, but my boxed set calls it 'Tales of Magic' by Edward Eager [containing Half Magic, Knight's Castle, The Time Garden, and Magic by the Lake.]
Redwall by Brian Jacques

Dittoing Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
because memory moves in orbits
of absence, because she holds her hands out in the rain,
and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself.

I'm dittoing The Abhorsen Trilogy, Harry Potter and His Dark Materials.

Other than that I think that Farseer Trilogy By Robin Hobb deserves to be on the list.
