  1. Hi Really glad to have chanced upon your site. It’s awesome, so many good books so little time. I’ve only ever read one English translation of a Korean writer. I note that it is not in your list. Kim Ji Young Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo, thought it is a really one. Thanks for sharing your reading list.

    1. Lifan – This is just a list from this particular series. If you find the South Korea tag in my main menu, you’ll find over one hundred reviews, including the one you mentioned 🙂
