Favorite books from your childhood?

When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for reading under my covers late at night with the bed lamp. I loved reading. I was always had a book.

What books from your childhood do you remember fondly? Why? What books would you recommend? What books would you want to read with your children if you ever had any?

I must admit that I have had some trouble recalling some of my own favorites from childhood. Some that I remember enjoying:

The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.
The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
The Cay by Theodore Taylor
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
