This is inspired by how many of us have one or two Narnia books on our books lists.
I read all of them multiple times, but it was definitely Dawn Treader that I reread the most. The imagery is seared into my brain--falling through the painting, Eustace the dragon peeling off his skin, the star's daughter, the mermaid scene, the flowers on the water, Reepicheep going off in his boat to explore what's past the end of the world....
Though I will say, now that I think about it, the one I most want to reread is The Silver Chair, which, from my vaguer memories of it, I would guess was Tolkien's favorite. Heck, maybe I'll reread all of them!
