My reading tastes haven't changed much since I was a teen and I still reread a lot of stuff that I read then. Some of it has aged but I can still enjoy the story. I loved H. Beam Piper's Fuzzy series and can still enjoy the story, even though I have to get past some of the old stereotypes and everyone smoking and giving cigarettes to what are essentially minor children.
I have recently reread Mercedes Lackey's Arrows series, several Heinlein books, many Rex Stout books and H.M. Hoover's juvenile sci-fi books, all which I read for the first time in my teens. I enjoyed all of them, even if I see them from a different perspective than I did 25-30 years ago.
What has changed the most is the breadth of my reading. As a teen I read almost exclusively sci-fi with a smattering of mystery/thriller (Nero Wolfe and The Saint were favorites). Now I read a lot more non-fiction, biographies and other genres.
