Why We Read Fiction

One-Liner Quotes   Why We Read Fiction Pharmacist’s Pick   2024.04.01   Park Hool-Ryung is a pharmacist and writer who runs “A Bookstore That Is Yet Dependent.” With the goal of “Book & Fun,” which means that the fun of reading books shouldn’t be missed, the writer grows with readers and customers.

It is ironic that while we are living in an era of prosperity, benefiting from industrialization and advanced technology, the number of young people who will take the lead in the country is shrinking. This is also true for Korea, a country with a rapidly aging population. This often leads to conflicts between the young and the old, as they have different goals.

Best Sellers   Moving Into the Final Stretch of 2025 Bestseller Trends in the Three Biggest Online Bookstoresin Korea for the 2nd week of November, 2025   2025.12.01   As November set in, temperatures began to drop abruptly, and daily swings became sharper. However, it isn’t the weather alone that signals winter’s approach. Bookstores began displaying Christmas ornaments and calendars for 2026, with next year’s planners quietly reminding readers that the end of 2025 is just around the corner. Around this time of year, bookstores always take on a distinctly wintery, year-end atmosphere.This shift was equally evident in the bestseller lists. Literature, which had long dominated the rankings, has retreated, while books forecasting trends for 2026 - already strong in October - continue to gain momentum. Riding the unusual boom in the Korean stock market, investment titles such as PS4’s Meta-Cognition Investing Method and Trend Following with Large-Caps also climb...

Korean Gardens by Your Side

New Books   Korean Gardens by Your Side Learning the aesthetics of reflection from Korean gardens   2025.11.03                 When we think of a garden, we often imagine a well-tended flower bed or a space where trees are neatly planted. However, only by stepping outside that narrow frame can we truly begin to encounter the diverse faces of the Korean garden. A garden is not just a space to be cultivated - it is where the human heart resides.

With long rest and steady rain, readers naturally turned their attention to books - befitting the season often called “the season of reading.”The bestseller list for the second week of October reflected the approaching year’s end.
