Description
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.

I honestly blind-bought this book and thought it would be a novel like her bestseller. After it arrived, I found out that it’s actually an essay collection — but at least it’s about books (I know, I could have read the description, but as I said, I bought it blindly). One of the first things I really enjoyed was the translation; the job was done wonderfully. I also loved how short the chapters were. It wasn’t like those pseudo-psychology books (e.g., James Clear’s Atomic Habits) where every point is mentioned at least five times and the author never seems to come to an end, so the chapters just go on and on. Here, everything was short, informative, and emotional — and I appreciated that a lot. I liked her arguments, her recommendations, and the points she made. Overall, it’s a really good essay collection that might be helpful if you’re lacking motivation to read or are stuck in a reading slump.
