The Basic Eight is my favourite book ever. It comes down to the kind of teenage world Handler created. As pretentious as the Basic Eight are, I love the sense of style they have and the idea of dinner parties. Other than that, I don't know exactly why this book is so re-readable for me.
Other favourites in no particular order:
Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen A classic. I love me some romance, especially romance with plenty of courting and gentlemanly advances.
Openly Straight - Bill Konigsberg A very sweet LGBT love story, with a premise that twists what you normally get from books about characters dealing with their sexuality. It's light-hearted but carries a punch when it should.
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro Dystopian with clones, but it's not particularly fantastical since it concentrates pretty much solely on how three of the clones grew up and how doomed they are when it comes to falling in love and living fulfilling lives. Moving story that's ultimately about free will and morality.
The Ersatz Elevator It's the first book I read by Lemony Snicket and got me hooked to the rest of the series (and don't worry - after reading this, I went back to TBB to read the books in proper order!).
