I was really into Hunter Thompson when I was sixteen, seventeen and over time wondered whether I'd lose interest or start to "see through" him -- I was initially drawn in via the drug angle -- but he in fact got better and better as I moved past that phase and read stuff like Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.
luka mentioned in the top ten books thread that his would still be the stuff he liked as a teenager - Rimbaud, Rilke, Blake, Burroughs etc - and I'm curious as to whether anyone else is in the same boat. You can extend this to music or film or whatever too, if needs be.
