Hey Jack! RM from BTS has a reading list and it would be very cool if you were to read the books on it! I don't know if you listen to their music but If I remember correctly there were a few songs inspired by the books, nonetheless the books are pretty cool

It's almost like they want you to end up in debt.... Furthermore, (as far as I know) apprenticeships aren't really a thing in this countries so if you want a "better" (better paying) job, you're kind of forced to go to Uni???!!!!

I read the Alchemist as a teen. It was an easy to understand book and I think it had a good message. His writing style is just simple, and a little fable-like. Some people might not like it, but I think that it's a writing style that can help people to finish a book when they are not readers. Not all writing can be beautifully poetic.

16:29 Okay so a bit of backstory, in Croatia we have 2 books a month that we are obligated to read in highschool every year and then on the end of the final year, we have a huge state exam and need to know everything about every book we read (basically). We read Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and i just wanna say that there is a lot more to the book than just a bizzare storyline of a man waking up as an insect. It portrays a family that lost every bit of normal relations and you see how Gregor isn't valued as a family member despite that he is the only one who is working and providing for his family and the end just shows how broken that family is. It's like a metaphor for a familiy that is just so broken that they decide to get rid of their member just because he is disabled and "an inconveniece". I honestly think that this book is one of my favourite books i have ever read and i think everyone should read it. ☆☆☆☆☆
