Every Day I Read: 53 Ways to Get Closer to Books

I welcomed this into my reading life because I'd heard good things, because I needed a change of pace, because I love books about books. In 53 short essays (one for each week of a year, plus a bonus), international bestselling author Bo-Reum (author of the hit Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop) explores a broad variety of approaches and experiments to take in your reading life. I was tickled by the way many of these ideas directly conflicted with each other: read short, read long. Read old, read new. Read at whim, plan your reading. I was charmed—and look forward to discussing this book and its discussion-generators with my reading pals. Translated from the Korean by Shanna Tan.
