The Good Earth is on my TBR "pile". In paper with some others she wrote.
Probably I was too young when I read Catcher in the Rye.
I've enjoyed a few on drofgnal's list.
I think re-reading is a good criterion.
In no order and not at all comprehensive:
Chronicles of Narnia. First box set I ever bought and among first books I ever bought.
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit, but not really the Silmarillion. Not any of Christopher's editing.
Some of Ursula le Guin's books and series.
Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" series.
Many E. Nesbit.
The original three Foundation books by Asimov, but especially not any of the post 1970s.
Terry Brooks's "magic kingdom for sale" series.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld, but not all of the series. Witches (inc Tiffany), DEATH and Guards sub series as well as The Truth, Going Postal and Making Money. Not the Long <whatever> series, or Science of Discworld, Nation.
Series or authors which seemed to start good and I later found tedious (or horrible):
The Wheel of Time
Shanarra
Terry Goodkind
Stephen Donaldson (the Thomas Covenant stuff seemed to go off and then tedious. Daughter of Regals was good.)
Grr Martin.
