Default childrens books you like as an adult.
Well? And please, we all love harry potter, so no need to mention that.

I really like the original winnie the pooh stories and a.a. milne poems. None of the disney pish though.

Also, I highly recomend the 'his dark materials' trilogy by Phillip Pullman. Infact, it barely qualifies as a childrens book.

Alice in Wonderland.

After the King James Bible and the works of Shakespeare, Alice in Wonderland has contributed more words and phrases to the english language than any other book.

The Brian Jacques books. Anything with rodents weilding swords and killing each other between singing about food has to be good.

Reading the amber spyglass at the moment, for the second time, and it's awesome. Must read for everyone, well the whole trilogy.
