My favorite number is (if it's not slightly obvious)... 8 !
It's a lucky number in many Eastern cultures and it's the 7th number in the Fibonacci sequence (where 7, is seemingly a lucky number in many Western cultures). It's also well balanced, and almost looks like an upright infinity sign.
I recommend to everyone interested in the Fibonacci sequence Mario Livio's The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number. A very interesting book, and an easy reading, no hardcore mathematics.
You can take a look inside the book on Amazon. Here: Amazon.com: The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number (9780767908160): Mario Livio: Books
