Hilari's comments from the UC San Diego Libraries Summer Reading! group.

Having never read a graphic novel, I have looked up a couple to add to my reading list. I may get to them this summer, I may not. Reading is reading and if you're going to be snobby and start calling them "silly" simply because you feel your reading choices are more erudite than others, then I don't really think you're embracing the spirit of the contest, which I believe is to share a love of reading and expand our horizons in the types of books we choose to read.

For me personally, I like my summer reading to be more light and fun in comparison to my winter reading. It's probably a throw-back to my college days. This contest has changed my mind a little and I will read some classics, some non-fiction and now, some graphic novels. I'm not in this to win prizes - prizes are the bonus - I'm in this to find new books and enjoy myself.
