The stories behind their books

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

“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.”

“I like it. I especially like it then, too. It makes me feel very calm and lets me think a lot, so I’ve been writing quite a lot of lyrics. I like it.”

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

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

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

“I recently finished reading My Brilliant Friend.”

“I made Zeze from the perspective of Mingyu, the lime-orange tree in the novel. Zeze is innocent, but cruel in some ways. Looking only at the character, Zeze has many contradictions. That’s why I found Zeze appealing and sexy.”

“Recently, I enjoyed reading a book called Little Nicolas. It's like a fairy tale for adults.”

“If I were to recommend a book I've read recently... it would be Alain de Botton's Why Do I Love You?”
