Thanks for making it easy, Bethy.
Hmmmmmmmmm...let's see. Well, I have a lot of favourite books and authors of course, which I revisit all the time. David Eddings's
Belgariad, Robert Jordan's
Wheel of Time (although very disenchanted with the latter books), Patricia Kenneally's
Keltiad novels, Joan De Vinge's
The Snow Queen, Marion Zimmer Bradley's
The Mists of Time and
The Firebrand, almost anything by Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm, to name but a few....
But I guess for me the answer to your question would have to be a couple of childhood favourites which have stayed with me through the years:
Watership Down and
The Chronicles of Narnia. I've worn out copy after copy of these and each time I revisit I never fail to be caught up in the adventure.
