From the internationally bestselling author of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop comes a warm and reflective collection of essays about reading, language and life.

Why do we read? What is it that we hope to take away from the intimate, personal experience of reading for pleasure?

Rarely do we ask these profound, expansive questions of ourselves and of our relationship to the joy of reading. But in this gentle, philosophical collection celebrating books, reading and language, Hwang Bo-reum doesn't just tell us, but shows us what living a life immersed in reading means.

Every Day I Read provides many quiet moments for introspection and reflection, encourages book-lovers to explore what reading means to each of us. While this is a book about books, at its heart is an attitude to life, one outside capitalism and climbing the corporate ladder. Readers and non-readers will take away something from it, including a treasure trove of book recommendations blended seamlessly within.

Shanna Tan, Bloomsbury, 2023) and has authored several essay collections: Every Day I Read, Trying Kickboxing for the First Time, The Perfect Distance and Simple Living.

Reviews

[This book] suggests that finding daily satisfaction is itself a serious job . . . Hwang explores how a person might choose to counter workism without rejecting work entirely, and how a meaningful life might be built by applying oneself to even the most pleasurable pastimes. * The Atlantic on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *
A real love letter to reading . . . wonderful. * Good Housekeeping on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *
I may have found my ideal bookshop book when I read Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. What sets Hyunam-Dong apart is how much it reveals about getting a store up and running . . . By the end of Hyunam-Dong, [Yeongju] has encountered enough surprises to figure out that bookshops-and love-rarely go by the book. * The Minneapolis Star-Tribune on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *
Hwang Bo-Reum's debut novel took South Korea by storm for its refreshing positivity and rejection of hypercapitalism . . . Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop was indeed a welcome break from the faster-paced and heavier books on my reading list-the perfect book to read while curled up in a comfy chair with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday. * Readers Digest, 41 Asian and Asian American Books Everyone Should Read on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *
