If that counts as a classic, then it would jump to the top of my list, too. I first read it at about the same age and have read it several other times since.

Johnny Got His Gun
Slaughterhouse Five The Jungle Also Huis Clos(No Exit), a play in French Class. Our French teacher was great, because she was more concerned with us talking about ideas and culture than the language itself which was the only reason I passed those classes. Mon francais est tres mal. |

Loved "Grapes of Wrath."
Also liked "The Call of the Wild." Three books that changed the way I think about the world were 1984, My side of the Mountain, & Walden. |

"In Cold Blood" comes to mind since it was so close geographically and was a fairly current event.
A customer ended up taking me out to the house when I started selling in Garden City. |

This is what I was thinking of, but I typed Rabit Hill, it has been too long ago.

I dunno if it qualifies as a classic. But I remember reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" as a kid and crying like a baby.

That was the first that came to mind, but I wasn't sure if it was considered a "classic"
