Why must we pick a favorite? I usually refuse to pick ONE, but the book that comes to mind most readily is To Kill a Mockingbird. I'd read it in high school, then probably 15 years later, and then about 10 years after that when my son read it in middles school. Another was Wuthering Heights, which I discovered after seeing Lawrence Olivier play Heathcliff in the movie when I was 13 at a slumber party. He was gorgeous! I read it again in my 20s, and loved it more. On the third reading, in my 40s, I tired of the brooding, though I still loved the writing. Just don't think I'll read that one again. Dickens is also great to reread--he gets alternately funnier and more bitingly serious each time.
