Every Day I Read: 53 Ways to Get Closer to Books by Hwang Bo-Reum

First book of the year and an enjoyable and quick read, it took me a week because I have been dipping in and out of several others.

This book is interesting to see the authors relationship with books and reading and how it is a part of their life. Each chapter focuses on another aspect of the authors relationship with books, discussing the impact of title chapters title e.g. Reading Aloud vs Silent, Reading Several Books At Once or Reading Widely vs Depth. What I like is the author discusses the matter and provides quotes from other authors or books that made them ponder the question, as such there are lots of references and books. Being Korean it is a shame that not a lot of the Korean references are translated to English yet.

A nice little read and one that can make you think about your own relationship with books and reading.
