I guess the answer to that question could change virtually every week. However, I do like books that stand up to more than a single reading and invite you to look into them a little deeper.
I recently bought my kids a book called Justin Thyme - although it's a children's book, it looks like it's getting quite a cult adult following (if the web site is anything to go by). I found it fascinating - the theories about the nature of time itself, and trails of hidden cryptic clues embedded into the text. Even the identity of the author is concealed somewhere in the book. And although I'm far older than the target audience, I find myself continually being drawn back to it, hoping to discover just one more clue. Few adults books have done that for me recently ... and it's great to find a book that, for once, the entire family can ALL share and talk about.
Either that ... or I'm entering my second childhood three decades early!

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
(ok ok, so I am not into "deep and meaningful" books like War and Peace but at least I answered your question. Can I unashamedly beg for my 10 points now?)

Whatever book I happen to be reading...though it changes about twice a day. But my favorite authors are Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Stephen King, and Joyce McDonald.

I like the series of "The Chronicles of Narnia" by CS Lewis.
His books are so detailed that we really feel we were there experiencing the whole adventure
