Jane Austen's novels (except maybe Mansfield Park) -- I was only a couple of years older than that when I first discovered them.

Almost anything by Mary Renault -- The King Must Die, The Last of the Wine, Fire From Heaven, The Persian Boy

Classic SF -- Asimov, Heinlein etc.

If she hasn't read it already, I second (third, fourth, whatever) the motion for Lord of the Rings.
