But your review of this book is tempting me…
If you had to choose one NK book that you’ve read, which would it be?

I read a graphic novel on it recently and couldn’t shut up about it. I’m definitely going to read this.

And now this football story?! So freaking insane. I just… it doesn’t seem real.

I’d really like to look into reading this book. Since I’ve read “Without You, There Is You No Us” by Suki Kim, I want to read more books about NK. It’s so sad to read about the conditions in the country, and I can’t believe some of the things I’ve read over the years.

Seems like a lot! I need to catch up! D: My next one sould be Suki Kim’s memoir, but that one’s been around for a while. There’s also Yeonmi Park’s memoir, which I want to read this year.
This one sounds really unsettling too. It’s unbelievable the lengths they would go to give even one person the illusion of normalcy. I shudder to think what the regular people of the NK must think about before they go to sleep.
