You know it’s a good book when you're thumbing through the pages for the seventh time.

After the eighth time, the binding is worn and broken.

The corners are crinkled from marking your place while reading for the ninth time.

I could probably recite every word from memory during the tenth time.

I know what will happen even before I open it for the eleventh time.

I still can't put it down for the twelfth time.
