I1: A Book You've Read Before
While cracking open a new book is full of great expectations, many people believe the best reading is rereading!
"Re-reading never gets old. The books change because we change. The great books get greater as we understand them better: reading them over and over, and knowing that we will never be finished." -Joan Wickersham
"In times of storm and tempest, of indecision and desolation, a book already known and loved makes better reading than something new and untried … nothing is so warming and companionable."—Elizabeth Goudge

Always begin your comment with your name. Share the book title, author, and whether you'd recommend the book or not.
Two examples are below.
Sally: FINISHED! A graphic novel called American-Born Chinese by Gene Yang. It was good. The Monkey-King was funny and all three stories were interesting.
Jack: I haven't finished this category yet, but two graphic novels I recommend are The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Zelznick and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Marvel. They're both really different but both have awesome illustrations.
