I'd have to go with the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostovsky. Because it is simply the most brilliant book ever written.
Since "Dr Jekyll" I've read two more contenders - "Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens and "Waverley" by Sir Walter Scott. Wonderful books!
Joseph Campbell: Hero With A Thousand Faces
Christopher Vogler: Writer's Journey
Kal Bashir: 2000+ stage Hero's Journey And Transformation Through A New World / State
All changed by writing life.
As this is my first post let me start by saying hello, everyone! My registration email came through today. Hurrah!
I have a few favourites that I often re-read: David Copperfield (Dickens), The Secret History (Tartt), The Historian (Kostova) and Pride and Prejudice (Austen). Perhaps not the most high brow of literary works but I find them so enjoyable. A good book is a good book, I say.
Catcher has to be up there, but two scenes in Catcher bother me: Holden dancing on the bed with Phoebe, and of course Mr. Antonelli. Kinda creepy. Currently my fave and has been for the last few years: Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton - it reads with such tangibility, followed by Idoru by Gibson and always, Bridge to Teribithia. Lousy movie. I also really like The Giver. Yes, most of my faves are juvenile fiction.
De engelenmaker by stefan brijs. It's a dutch book, but I think that it has been translated in English and some other languages. It's a very interesting book about human cloning and morals.
J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. hands down.
I used to feel like this question was akin to being asked who my favorite child is... =D

I read Harry Potter series and it is extremely good.
I think all books have different specialities...
All changes bring us different emotions in our books.
Maybe To Kil A Mockingbird?
My favourite one physically is a three volume Shakespeare. I just love handling, it's very nice. And i really like the smell of my Histoy of Western Philosphy, haha. Which I haven't even read yet.
