Saints, by Orson Scott Card, is a book I thumb through whenever I need a bit of a spiritual lift.
Every book of Terry Pratchett and Anne McCaffrey has been read at least 3 times, usually a great deal more. For sheer escapism alone.
I love Lawrence G. Green books, and read one of his whenever I am feeling homesick and need to recapture something of the magic of my youth. The Africa he writes about is the Africa of adventure and mystery, exactly the kind of place I dreamt of as a kid.
There are others too that get read time and again, but the above is what I return to most frequently.
