It is said that the Bible is the most read book in the world. Likewise in Korea, about 28% of the population is Christian, so the Bible must have been read the most. In addition, if I look at the bestseller list published by large Korean bookstores every year, I can see which books are popular, but to be honest, I think it would be better to talk about the books I have read because I haven't read the bestsellers. I personally like historical novels because I am interested in history. In particular, I like historical novels set in modern and contemporary Korean history, and even though there are 30 books written by author Cho Jung-rae, I like them so much that I sometimes take them out and read them. As his novel is based on historical facts, it is so good that I could indirectly experience the painful history of Korea's failure to modernize, being colonized by Japan, divided by great powers, and even fighting war and learn the lesson that such painful history should never be repeated.
