Can you please list the books that Jonghyun has mentioned that he's read or is reading? I remember him mentioning Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and I found it to be an amazing read. I bought Crime and Punishment too just now. His reading recommendations have always been brilliant, so I figured I'd go through all of them.. Hope it's not a burden!
• poems by bertolt brecht • short stories by edgar allen poe (* specifically the black cat!) • demian - herman hesse • kafka by the shore - haruki murakami (*) • the metamorphosis - franz kafka (*) • crime and punishment - fyodor dostoyevsky • the elegy of whiteness - han kang • malice - keigo higashino • the harry potter series by j.k. rowling • the little prince - antoine de saint-exupéry • blindness - josé saramago • the hobbit - j.r.r. tolkien • lord of the rings trilogy - j.r.r. tolkien • simarillion - j.r.r. tolkien • the ultimate secret - bernard werber
based on some authors that he follows on twitter, he also seems to be a fan of: maurice blanchot, lee oi soo, william shakespeare, pascal quignard and oscar wilde. he’s a fan of detective novels but hasn’t specified any any by title. he also reads a lot of different mangas but, like with the detective novels, he doesn’t often give the titles. there’s probably… thousands more because he’s mentioned that he usually finishes a book every day or two, but. oh, also! the books with (*) next to them are those that he has mentioned as his favorite books.
