The stories behind their books

“I regretted thinking, “Why did I only read your books now?””

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

“A little while ago, I read a book called *The Wizard’s Bakery*.”

“'Contradiction'”

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

“It’s good. Especially then, it’s good too. My mind gets very calm, and I can think a lot, so I’ve been writing quite a lot of lyrics as well. It’s good.”

“I regretted not having read this book sooner.”

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

“I started reading it for the first time on the plane, and it was so interesting that I read about half of it.”

“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.”

“I heard it was fun.”

““Strangely enough, with just one cookbook, I feel as though I’ve taken a step closer to senior Park Jun-myeon. Perhaps it’s because this book resembles the senior I know.””

“So, if it hadn’t been this cover…”

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

“The Door of Morning is a really, really shocking and good work. It’s a beautiful work, so I’ll recommend it to you.”

“I chose Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha as my first book. Appearing on Minumsa TV’s YouTube channel got me interested in classical literature, and since it was a story about Buddhism, I thought it might calm my mind. I usually like mystery and thriller genres, but for the first book of this year, I wanted to start with one that could help me find peace of mind.”

“This is documenting us, so I want to talk about everything.”

“<The Sound of Your Heart> is really entertaining. I don't think I've ever seen a comic this entertaining in my life.”

“This is a very warm and easy-to-read book.”

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

“I still like this song, just as I did before the album came out.”

“Actually, I was in the library club in my first year of high school, and around my second year I joined another club. Was it the economics club? We read things like 『The Prince』 and 『An Essay on the Principle of Population』, summarized them, and gave presentations in PowerPoint.”

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

“I got it as a gift, and brought it from home to start reading today.”

“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.”

“These days, I'm reading a book called *Such Clumsy People* for about the fifth time...”

“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.”

“Of the books I’ve finished recently, the one I liked best was I Said It Was Goodbye ㅠㅠ”

“Watching this, I thought, “The mystery novels I’ve read up to now were only fragments. The real roots were here.””

“Little Women also goes really well with spring. When I was young, you know how there’s always that thing that suddenly comes to mind… So this was a book I used to read when I was in elementary school, because we were told to read it during school vacation.”

“Because I enjoyed reading Animal Farm so much”

“It was so much fun that I read it quickly.”

“Orbital”

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

““I find myself chuckling, yet somehow there isn’t a single scene that doesn’t leave some corner of my heart sad. Conversely, even in a single leaf, even in one cheerful line of dialogue from the radio by my late senior Shin Hae-chul, an inevitable sadness lingers. But perhaps I’m intoxicated by the velvetleaf forest; strangely, I keep chuckling.””

“As I turned the last page of the book, I thought how lucky I was to have met you, teacher, as a child who could hear those precious stories for free.”

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

“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.”

“I'd like to recommend Osamu Dazai's *No Longer Human*.”

“People seem to be born as light as feathers, then gradually shoulder more weight as they live.”

“Guillaume Musso's *Will You Be There?* is a book I read in middle school. I liked it so much that I read it several times.”

“The books I'm currently reading—I’m reading two at the same time: one called *Consolation for Sorrow* and *Strange Comfort*.”

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