The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. I've read it at least 3 times through, and will do again. The second book in the trilogy didn't hold my interest as much, and I've put the third book aside for a bit.
The Accidental Tourist is a favorite reread also, as is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Something about a favorite book can be very grounding for me. Especially when the characters are well drawn, and you understand them, what drives them, and you "get it."
