Any favourite book will do, for me it's Harry Potter, C.S. Lewis' Narnia series, or Chesterton's Father Brown stories.

Have to agree here, that when I want to relax, there is nothing like rereading an old favourite.
It also often allows me to see somthings that I might not have paid attention to on my original read through, when I'm in a hurry to find out what happened.
The best books I've found for that are Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
David Eddings is also fun, not too heavy and more or less classic fantasy.
Same with Ann McCaffrey's Work, working through a series again relaxes me no end.
Rereading a favourite piece of dialogue, or a moving scene is like watching a old classic movie, familiar but still great.
