The stories behind their books

“As I was reading the book, my mom’s spicy whelk-and-noodle dish came straight to mind.”

“Since I like mystery novels, even just the cover and title made this feel so exciting. If you’re a mystery novel fanatic, this is exactly the kind of thing you’d love.”

“I also liked his newly released *Me Without You*.”

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

“My brother had received this book as a gift, so it was at home. I tried reading it and liked it so much that I take it out whenever things are hard. The saying is really true: when I'm in a good mood, I can laugh off a bad situation, and when I'm in a bad mood, even a small thing feels big. Managing your mood may not be easy, but it made me reflect on myself a little. Since I'm the one living my life, I think everything begins with me. If I have good qualities, they'll spread a pleasant scent like perfume and have a positive influence”

“The book I read yesterday was one called Maldok, and it was really interesting.”

“So I brought some must-read books that I hope you’ll read during your teenage years.”

“I read when I’m bored. The book I’d recommend is <Castella>. It’s a short story collection by author Park Min-gyu. I really enjoyed reading it. It’s psychedelic, really!? So at first it can be a little disconcerting, but as you keep reading, you can get completely absorbed in it.”

“I recently started reading the book “I Want to Go Home Even Though I’m at Home.””

““I enjoyed reading Animal Farm, so I’m looking for other works, too.””

“I watched the movie and read the book, and the book is overwhelmingly more fun. It's really fun.”

“Congratulations, I read 'Human Acts' while in the military,”

“So, if I were to recommend one, there’s a book called Snowball. It’s really dynamic and fun, so I think it would be nice to read it together.”

“I’m reading the Neapolitan Novels!!”

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

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

““A Thousand Blues,” something like that.”

“It's really fun. I read it in no time.”

““I should look here for what I need to say.” Honestly, I fell asleep. I fell asleep, so I’m going to tell you the title on the cover of that book: “Love as if you’ve never been loved.” I’ll try to love you as if I’ve never been loved. Ah! I love you. Yes.”

“I think young adult literature would probably be best for our baby DIVEs. I thought a book called The Wizard’s Bakery would leave more of an impression on your heart if you read it when you’re really young. So, our baby DIVEs, let’s read a fun book together sometime.”

“I recommend the Japanese novel *Please Eat Something Warm*.”

“What is the most important book you have read?”

“I asked a friend: “Hey, I want to read! Do you have any books to recommend?” And he got really excited and recommended books by Han Kang and Keigo Higashino. So, that was literally everything I read. There was also a book called “Eleven Steps.” It was kind of a book about philo…”

“Because *Memoir of a Murderer* was the book that introduced me to the world of books, and”

“Alain de Botton’s books are difficult even for adults, so there are many parts I don’t understand. But if you read them five or six times, you come to understand, “Oh, that’s what it means.” There’s a shock that comes from that.”

“I read Human Acts after I started my military service”
