I've been digging around in my memory to make a list of my favorite books as a kid. I've started to reread one and have found that it holds the test of time. I'm laughing out loud while reading it 25 years after I first read it and caught myself recapping it for a friend last night. How weird is that?!?
The book: Anastasia Krupnik. A 10-year-old smartie who makes lists, writes poetry, and thinks a lot (a.k.a. Becca at 10).
Movie of the Day: Wuthering Heights. Another book I love is Katie John and Heathcliff. She is a tomboy who falls for the fictional character. Can you say "melodrama?"

These might be a little young for you but Sebastian and I have just read three by E.B. White - Charlotte's Web, The Trumpet of the Swan, and Stewart Little. We loved The Trumpet of the Swan. Also we read The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. Sebastian adored that book, I imagine we will read it many times.
What about Anne of Green Gables? I'd like to read those again.
Don't know if my boys will ever truly appreciate them though...

I loved rereading Huckleberry Finn--I laughed out loud.
