"And if beauty is terror,” said Julian, “then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we have only one. What is it?”

“To live,” said Camilla.

“To live forever,” said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.

My January tbr (to be read) lineup. These have all been highly recommended to me. I don’t think that I’ll be able to read too much this semester as it’s my graduating semester for my masters degree. I’ll also need to be studying for the national counselor examination. ☕️📚

“Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.”

Amazing story that takes you into the world of 1900s Japan and Korea. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves to read history.
