My favorite book is "Brave Soldier Svejk" - i re-read it almost every other year since 11 or 12.
It's one of the best satirical books of all times in my opinion. I always read it in my native Russian which is closer to original Czech language than English, so not sure about the quality of English translation, but nevertheless I highly recommend this book to anyone. There is no good EBook version of it yet, but it's out of copyright so there's plenty of texts available online along with Josef Lada's illustrations (best illustrations for the book) and it's easy to make an EBook version.
