Wow. That's difficult. It's very difficult to compare across genres. Even just counting the books I have read and have in calibre (which is only my last dozen years of reading), I need to pick just 1 in 200. Since I don't have time to do a book-by-book comparison, I'll just have to pick those that come most readily to mind.

Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Clifford D. Simak: Way Station
James Hilton: Good-bye, Mr. Chips
Lawrence Watt-Evans: The Misenchanted Sword
Rudyard Kipling: Kim
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: Good Omens
J R R Tolkien: The Hobbit
Lois McMaster Bujold: The Spirit Ring
Robert Louis Stevenson: Kidnapped
Diane Duane: So You Want To Be A Wizard?

I've re-read all of these at least once. That probably biases my list against recent books, since I won't have re-read any of them yet.
