been reading a lot since i arrived in seoul, to fill the hours that sleep refuses to claim, and because i can, finally, without the multifarious distractions that home offers. below is a list of books i've finished reading, excluding the korea lit in english translation that KLTI requires us to read. so, without regard to order or ranking, here they are:
