I agree with McGrath too, but I do love discussing books I like with other people, so I'll join in. I'm very boring though, I'm afraid. I love "Lord of the Rings" and have read it now eight times. After that come most, though not all of Terry Pratchett's discworld books, A quartet of books by Diana Gabaldon, The Wind in the Willows, Both the Winnie the Poohs, all the Anne of Green Gables books and the Lymmond books by Dorothy Dunnett. I also love Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising sequence. Having enjoyed all these, I now enjoy them again by reading them to my children. We read "His Dark Materials" together too and my son loved them. I was less keen. I'm told the books by Lemony Snickett (not a real name surely?) are brilliant. Oh, and of course I forgot...I have to say it...The Harry Potter books. Actually, looking at my list, I think there are more 'children's' books than adult ones! What does that say about me I wonder?
