From the internationally bestselling author of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop comes a heartfelt and contemplative collection of essays that explore reading, language, and life.

Why do we read? What do we seek from the deeply personal act of reading for pleasure?

We rarely pause to consider these profound questions or examine our connection to the joy that reading brings. In this tender and thoughtful collection celebrating books and language, Hwang Bo-reum not only reflects on these ideas but beautifully illustrates what it means to live a life surrounded by words.

Every Day I Read invites readers to slow down, reflect, and rediscover their relationship with reading. More than just a book about books, it offers a philosophy of life—one that moves beyond materialism and career ambitions. Whether you’re an avid reader or not, you’ll find something meaningful within its pages, along with a delightful array of book recommendations woven throughout.
