Heinlein, H.G. Wells, Asimov, and Bradbury are all staples for the young mind.
Also, read Cosmos by Carl Sagan.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by Joyce is a great read. I read it when I was 14, and loved it.
I also echo the sentiments of previous posters: Hitchens, Dawkins, and Harris are excellent. I prefer Dawkins when he is teaching science. Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True might be the most palatable book on evolution of them all.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
