I have read this at least 100 times

Growing up this was THE book. I read this again and again. It has everything: family and love, comfort and loss, humor, passion, inspiration. I cannot recommend this enough to everybody and everyone. I read a quote from it at my mother's funeral (she first gave it to me). But honestly, even beyond my personal sentimental affection for it it stands on its own.
