The BFG by Roald Dahl.

I'm in the middle of it, currently. It's quite fascinating - behavioral psychology has always been a sort of side-interest of mine. I wish I had read it sooner - it was one of those books that I bought with great intentions at the time, and then it sat around on the bookshelf for a while before I picked it up.
