Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"
Science fiction at its best. I have read it at least 20 times, and hope to read it at least 20 more.

Well, I'm a bookworm so this is a difficult question for me because I read so many books. this are some of those books that I loved so much and just cant stop reading it:
1. To Kill a Mockinbird by Harper Lee (I love how Harper created story from children point of view)
2. The Big Four by Agatha Christie (I just love it)
3. The Hobbit and LOTR series by JRR Tolkien (Love the details, the story, the characters, everything!)
4. Harry Potter series by JK Rowling (same reason why I love LOTR)
5. The Bourne Series by Robert Ludlum (great story, briliant piece of writing)
6. Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
7. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

'The White Hotel", by D.M. Thomas.
To me, without a doubt, the greatest novel in the English language since WWII. Finalist for the Booker Prize (English equivalent of the Pulitzer), in 1990.
It is short (275 pages), but treats a theme that few recent authors have attempted: the unassailable dignity of the human soul.
A fictional account of the life woman who is one of Freud's earliest patients (a Jewish opera singer), it traces her life against the backdrop of the mounting storm of war in Europe. In the text, the author uses several devices I personally have not seen elsewhere-- including intentionally boring the reader, which, for instance turns out to be a spectacular sort of internal allegory -- and not the only one. He also has found a way to display clairvoyance (one of the heroine's facets) by making you think you might be claivoyant yourself!
The climax of the book is as catastrophic as it is unexpected. I was literally shocked, and only realized when I'd finished, just what mastery the author had used to put me "in the story" so I would feel something of the same emotions as the characters themselves. Cover blurbs compare it to Sophocles -- and that's not something you'll see every day.
Now I will say, judging from your avatar and your writing style, that this one might be better to wait for a few years before reading. It's florid in places -- you might even say (as the author does in his preface) --"pornographic" in the beginning, which is why I think it didn't win the prize it was nominated for. But that color -- or even brutality, is a very sophisticated device by the virtuoso Thomas, and necessary to lay the foundation for his story. I think it WOULD have won the prize if the critics had actually finished it and realized what was really going on!
If you feel The White Hotel could be too adult for you right now in reading what I've said here, then do by all means read the truly great "Nine Stories", by J. D. Salinger. That one requires no introduction, encouragement, or explanation. It's such a great book to discover as a young adult -- accessible, funny, and profound, too. It will grab you from the first page, and you're sure to read it again and again.

It is a very interesting question to ask an avid reader (like me..) because it really tough to answer. But, among all the book, i've read, there is one book that shine among all which is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is the only book that I read 5 times, while all of other books I've read never reach my hands again to be read for second time. Pride and Prejudice is a perfect romance-theme novel, with beautiful plot, witty style of writing and charming yet colourful characters. Personally, I never found (yet) any author that can grab my attention with their words forever. Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece.

1. Pride and Prejudice because its so witty and elegant.
2. Eragon because its something new and different.
3. A Series of Unfortunate Events because the books are quirky and uniquely written.
4. Harry Potter because it takes all the fairytales and puts them together.
5. Chronicles of Narnia...just...because.

For me, I can't put down To Kill a Mockingbird. I love the characters, and the writing is excellent.

Grendel; it's short and sweet, and absolutely powerful in its vision of an isolated outcast struggling with existential crises.
