What's your favorite book?

Do you have any favorite book? Is there a book you could read more than once? What is your favorite story? I have a lot of favorite books, but now I think that the ones I like the most are Edgar Allan Poe's books, they are full of mystery and they transmit you the fears, anxiety and horrors of the fantastic tales and stories of imagination. Other stories I like a lot too are the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the English detective.
Reading is great, even if you think it is a bit boring.
