I voted for what would have been my nomination if Sun Surfer hadn't gotten in first: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (also known as Ten Little Niggers, Ten Little Indians or Ten Little Soldiers).
I still think this is one of her best works and one of the best of the genre. A true classic that has stood up well over time (even with the various PC changes that were forced on it). I find most Agatha Christie books fun to re-read even when you already know the outcome, but this one always stands out.
Lots of other worthy choices in the nominations, though I never really considered The Hobbit as a real favourite - I do re-read it fairly often (forcing my way through the first quarter of the book) but only as a prelude to The Lord of the Rings.
