Watership Down. I come back to it when things get to dark. Its my friend. My comrade. It was the first real classic that I read. I first read it at school when the lunchtime was on and no one was there. So I read it like a naughty book, in secret, with a guilt-ridden expression. I was only 13 and it captivated me! But it's a classic about survival and rabbit/human nature. It's timeless.

The Phantom of the Opera. My first encounter with the book was in fourth grade (that's about ten years ago). But because I had then a fear of ghosts, spirits and the like (even angels, yeah!) I gave it up after having read too much about the rumored ghost in the opera house. Fast forward to four years ago, I found myself reading the novel again, and it never was the same scary novel again that I thought it was back then. Now I was captivated by the sheer loveliness of the romantic love that is portrayed in the story, and drawn to the idea that one person can be incredibly genius and vile at the same time.

The book I have most often reread is either the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which I read each summer throughout my teens, or "Great Expectations," which I have read for pleasure and school many times each. Neither has ever grown stale. A more recent book which is rapidly becoming a perennial favorite is "Two Trains Running" (2005) by Andrew Vachss. I am currently reading it for the third time, and discovering new things all the time.

Like a lot of others I keep going back to The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings. I never tire of them & seem to focus on a different character with each reading.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. I've read them all the way through every year since I was 7, and sometimes twice, so I'm up to about 23 times now:) I have huge parts of it memorized. LOVE them.
