Try The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, pretty short and funny. It’s basically making fun of science fiction, but it’s really weird. It’s one of my favorite books.

I really loath science fiction. But I really enjoyed 2001 by Arthur C Clark. And anything else written by him. My favorite is his book Childhood’s End.
However, he’s for everyone. And it’s not like you could just watch the movie 2001 if you can’t stand the book, because you have to read the book to understand the movie.

Robert Forward’s, “The Timemaster”. A very good “hard” sci fi book. By “hard” it means based on actual current science and within the realm of what mankind MAY possibly achieve some day.

Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card

Ha ha, that’s actually the tag line of Meyer’s book The Host. It was hailed as “Science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction.” I’m not saying you should read it for your class (it has little literary value), but it’s a funny coincidence. You might want to read it on your own sometime, though.
I read The Tripods Trilogy (it may have just been the first book, When the Tripods Came) for class one year. It’s by John Christopher. Also, War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells is commonly read for class.

Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies.
It’s set in the future and new technology takes a big role - of course it’s science fiction.

Try Nineteen Minutes, Salem Falls, or any books by Jodi Picoult.
As well as the classic books like Pride and Prejudice.

Artemis Fowl is great. Its very easy to read while still qualifying as a young adult book. I would also agree with Ender’s Game.
