I don't even close to bookworm but...

I have taken the note from Emma. She has been read 41 books from the list. I should just say 'Wow'.


I have read a lot of technical book such as computer programming book when I growing up. A lot of people can't count how many books they read but in my case, I can count on them in Korean novel and English novel, too. Because I haven't read a lot of books.

If you want to check my list of read book in English, you can check out here.

My reading novel in Korean also quite same as that one. I mean it wasn't that much.

I was very surprised that I read that list far better than most people so I am trying to do that, too.

--------------
y - I haven't read original story but I read it as rewritten for young age novel.
k - I have been read Korean translated version of book.
b - I bought a book for reading someday in future. :-)

Xn - I have been read part of serise.

r - I have been reading it.
