Every Day I Read
Autor Hwang Bo-Reum Traducere de Shanna Tanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2027
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
From the author of the international bestseller Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, a heartfelt invitation to reflect on your relationship with reading and celebrate the joys of books--now in paperback.
Why do we read? What is it that we hope to take away from the intimate, personal experience of reading for pleasure?
How often do we ask these profound, expansive questions of ourselves and of our relationship to the joy of reading? In each of the essays in Every Day I Read, Hwang Bo-reum contemplates what living a life immersed in reading means. She goes beyond the usual questions of what to read and how often, exploring the relationship between reading and writing, when to turn to a bestseller vs. browse the corners of a bookstore, the value of reading outside of your favorite genre, falling in love with book characters, and more.
Every Day I Read provides many quiet moments for introspection and reflection, encouraging 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. Lifelong and new readers will take inspiration from it, including a treasure trove of book recommendations blended seamlessly within.

Recenzii
A real love letter to reading . . . wonderful.
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.
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.
