Does anyone know how you can log in Goodreads reading a book more than once? I read this in 1999 and am rereading it now. I would like to log both dates as read dates.

The request for such option has been brought up many times by users of this site, but it's been falling on deaf ears for many-many years. You can try doing what I do to my re-reads. You can pick one edition of the book and set the date read as usual (either the 1999 or current). Then go to the book's page and pick another edition from the ones offered. Once on that page, navigate down to your review section, and on the right side you'll see links to "edit", "review this edition", and "switch to this edition". Click "review this edition" and set your second date there. Basically, if you are not picky what edition is recorded, and you don't mind duplicates on your shelf, this will let you document as many re-reads as there are editions of the particular book.

If you don't want to see duplicates on "read" shelf (like me), you can create an exclusive shelf just for re-reads (like I did), and send all those books there. You will still have to pick a different edition from your original one though, every single time. It's a lot of extra work for something that should be as easy as just entering more than one date into your stats, but GR is stupid like that. You might find it not worth the work, but I like to keep track of such things as re-reads. And this method allows you to add re-reads into your GR challenge without subtracting these books from the previous years' stats. Hope that helps. (less)
