Tolkien obviously. I'm not a Silmarillion level reader but Lord of the Rings (and the Hobbit) were my faves as a teenager. I also like the Dragonlance novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I read a lot of fantasy when I was a teenager.
When I turned 18, I began reading a lot of philosophy and not much fiction anymore. (Maybe I should get back into it.) Plato and Nietzsche are my favorite authors in that respect. I like Tolstoy too... but never read his longer novels. Just his short stories and nonfiction. He's an excellent writer, as many are aware.
