“He has written many books, such as *Save Me*, *Will You Be There?*, and *Returning in Search of Love*.”

“I read Human Acts while in the military. Congratulations.”

“I ended up reading it on a whim because Chanyeol recommended it. When I read essays like this, I feel like I come to understand a wider range of lives a little better, and somehow feel more personally connected. I thought it was the kind of book that draws you into the situations and makes you laugh and cry along with them because they’re so absurd.”

“If I had read The Stranger earlier, I wouldn’t have chosen my original name, Rap Monster.”

“This book also gave me a lot of strength. It felt like it said exactly what I wanted to hear? It’s a book I’ve read several times.”

“It felt like a drama that portrayed a very mature love.”

“So we bought it together.”

“Personally, my goal this year is to read more than twenty books. I really enjoyed reading Human Acts again last year, so this year I’ll read lots of interesting books too.”

“A book I'm reading these days. I'm still in the early part, so it's too soon to say what I think of it.”

“Writer! I read Human Acts in the military. Congratulations.”

“I think they came up with a really good title. We often say, “I want to die.” But even while saying we want to die, it’s true that we also feel like having soju or eating tteokbokki. As someone who has also gone through dark times, I couldn’t help but relate deeply.”

“The book I’d like to recommend is [Eleven at Night] by author Hwang Kyung-shin.”

“I bought volumes 1 and 2. I’ve finished volume 1, and I have about half of volume 2 left.”

“I thought this really summed up the book The Contradiction very well.”

“This is a book called *Mythology*.”

“I’ve been really interested in Greek mythology since I was little. When I was young, I only liked the main figures, but there are so many other gods too, you know. I want to read about them because I’m curious about them…”

“I enjoyed author Park So-young’s Snowball. It’s a mystery with sci-fi elements, and it has so many twists. There’s also the pleasure of imagining.”

“I watched the movie and read the book, and personally, I thought the book was more beautiful and better.”

“Author! I read *Human Acts* while I was in the military. Sob, congratulations!”

“I immediately bought this author’s Brunch Award-winning book, “An Uncloying Essay Collection.””

“I’m reading Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving.”

“In conclusion… I recommend reading it at least once.”

“This book helped me a lot. It says exactly what I want to hear. I didn’t read it just once; I read it several times. There are sentences that speak to me the second time, and sentences that speak to me the third time. It’s a book I keep reaching for, so I recommend it to ONCE.”

“"thrilling"”

“"like a movie."”

“And I ended up choosing these two.”

“This book was written by my uncle, you know?”

““It’s really, really interesting””

“Author, I read *Human Acts* while I was in the military. Sob. Congratulations!”

“‘SAME STORY’”

“This is a book I started reading because it was at the TWICE dorm, and I think this book is exactly what its title says: “doing something for myself.””

“Give it a read. It’s short, so you can finish it quickly.”

“I'm slightly in love with it”

“So, if it hadn’t been this cover…”

“Not long ago, I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being, which tells the story of four men and women who are very different from one another. It seems to me that people are born as light as feathers and gradually take on weight as they go through life. Personally, I thought Sabina’s life was wonderful.”

“Writer! I read *Human Acts* in the military.”
