What is your favorite book?

What avid reader can really choose one book out of so many as the singular favorite? But since I must pick one, I choose Marion Zimmerman Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, which I read when I spent a summer in England. I discovered and fell in love with the genre of Medieval Literature, particularly Arthurian Legend, during the course of that experience. It is not the most well-written, nor has it made any bestseller list, but as many times as I've read it, it has remained timeless and continues to remind me of an unforgettable adventure.
