I'm with Golem - ah the memories! And all those are so well written, especially Pullman (unlike Harry Potter - couldn't get past the first 50 pages because the writing is so atrocious!).
Another favourite of mine was The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster - have read it several times, even as an adult, and never tire of it: witty, funny, imaginative and with a 'message' that isn't too heavy or sugary.

I too love Harry Potter and the Narnia series (especially the Magicians Nephew), but how about E Nesbit, I know someone has already mentioned the Railway Children ,but how about The Treaure Seekers and Five Children and It? One of my favourite Enid Blytons is The Valley of Adventure, but am currently re-reading some of the Famous Five books which I found in the loft and when I've re-read them they'll go to a charity shop. Then there is The Hobbit and how many of you have read The Indian In The Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks? - a superb book.
I loved all of the Blyton books. My very first one was Mr Galliano's Circus. I was hooked. I spent all of my pocket on them, my favourites were the Famous Five stories. When I started to work in a boarding school, late seventies, I was so disappointed that the matron was nothing like the matron in the Mallory stories.
I like the comic strip versions as well.
They have all gone out of fashion now and when my offspring started school I was most annoyed when one of them came home from school saying that a teacher had remarked that all Blyton books should go a huge bonfire!

Surely Roald Dahl's books must be included in this list of favorites?
What about "The Borrowers"?
Best of all the Narnia collection but you must read them in order, and of course they have religious overtones (Kaktus!) C.S.Lewis was a professor of theology.
Last but not least for little ones "The Mr Men"
