Question: What is your favorite book? The one you always come back to, over & over? The one you practically have memorized but each time every word feels Brand New?
For avid readers, this is one of those next-to-impossible questions. HOWEVER, because I have read and loved it so, SO many times and the characters never cease to delight me (I am in love with the Glass family - major major crush on Seymour Glass), and the dialogue is absolutely fantastic, Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger. This collection of short stories, most of which feature someone from the Glass family featured in Franny and Zooey (another great), is one I will read and re-read, I'm sure, at least a dozen more times throughout my life. Love it!!!
Alice in Wonderland... and SO many others. I have a GoodReads profile that highlights a lot of the books I've read (and loved!). You can check it out here: http://www.goodreads.com/positivelypresent
I have two favorites - one old and one new. The Color Purple by Alice Walker - love, love, love. And The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - just an amazing love story.
Since turning 50, it is REINVENTING YOUR LIFE. The book that transformed my spirit and opened up a pathway for my spiritual walk was ONE DAY MY SOUL JUST OPENED UP.
This is a pretty hard question for an avid reader like me... I can't pin it down to just one book, but I'd have to say the book series I loved most is Harry Potter. There's just something magical about it even if you don't take it into consideration that it's about magic.

Tough question, but my favorites are by authors, rather than titles: Nora Roberts, James Patterson, Stephen King
My favorite book I've read over and over and have countless editions of is Alice in Wonderland.
However my new favorite book is An Abundance of Katherines by John Green <3
