Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl (My dad read this to me as I was recuperating from a broken arm and dislocated shoulder. Still gives me warm and happy memories of the parental closeness)
The Chronicles of Narnia (all of 'em) C.S. Lewis
The Dark is Rising Sequence - Suzanne Cooper (I didn't read this one until I was in college, but love it.)
Harriet the Spy - Louise Fitzhugh
The Black Stallion (and sequels) - Walter Farley
The Green Knowe Books - L.M. Boston (I like books that come in series)
And I still love Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. Can't remember how many times I've read it.
