What Are Your Five Favorite Books?

At various points in my life, my list of favorite authors and books rotates depending on my state of mind and situation. For years, The Catcher in the Rye claimed the number one spot until I read a little book called The Great Gatsby, which affected me like no other book had. It seems like with every new author I’m exposed to, a new book makes my top five and I’m forced to reconsider the other choices. What books—either currently or permanently—are in your top five right now?
