10 BOOKS you should read if you love BTS while you

[@modelstatus3456]

I'm in advanced literature classes,so I've read most of these,and I can confidently say that BigHit has taste

[@sakinomura4039]

I agree with you on an whole other level..... These people have a good taste ...even this feel like an understatement the books are too good ....the way they work with the mind ....

[@GoodiesFire]

I'm adding two more: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, and The Gift of Anger by Arun Gandhi ( Connected with UGH!)

[@orionsoutro1794]

How did you find out these two were connected omg that's so cool!

[@elizabethspain3206]

I have the set of the three books in the four agreements- i highly recommend them as well

[@cloudedcamera2089]

Two views and six likes. Nice. Also, here’s my progress on the books: 1. Demian: got halfway through, my atheist mind rejected the constant Christian ideology and never finished it 2. Murakami Haruki: never heard of it 3. Owl Service: never heard of it 4. Bacchae: never heard of the book, but I do know the mythological story 5. Gulliver’s Travels: I haven’t read it, but my friend is obsessed with it and loves its connotations 6. The Little Prince: I know the story, but I don’t remember having touched it since I was five 7. The Adventures of Pinocchio: I’m familiar with a few versions of the story 8. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: I know of it. Still haven’t read it, to the irritation of a couple of my friends. 9. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: I know of it, but I read Around the World in 80 Days for Lit/Comp and hated it, so I’m disinclined to read more Jules Verne books. 10. Into the Magic Shop: never heard of it Bonus. The Ones Who Walk Away: never heard of it That was long lol anyway tnx for the recommendations!

[@faresa7365]

I have only read Gulliver's travel and The Little Prince.. Others don't interest me as much..

[@Adistmin]

i really agree with "my atheist mind rejected the constant Christian ideology and never finished it". I mean, for me it is so hard to understand the book if i have different ideology

[@eupetrosarktou7866]

I really don't think that the Gnostic idea of Abraxas, which is central to "Demian", can be swept off the table as "Christian ideology". At least not as Christianity is perceived today. The whole concept of a god who is both good and evil at the same time is anathema to most modern Christians. Some Christians would even denounce it as Satanism, or something even more abhorrent. . Having said that, there is, of course, a vein of Christian ideology running through the book, but it would be nearly impossible to write about the existential struggle of a young man in Northern Europe in the first decades of the 20th Century without dealing with this in depth. . Having said that, I want to make it clear that I am not a Christian, but I don't have a problem reading novels taking place in predominantly Christian societies. Particularly when the protagonist of the novel is struggling against the tides of conformity in that society. . ###

[@sakinomura4039]

I can pretty much understand that you are unable to understand Demian ... Namjoon is an atheist too though ...the real key to the book is not the Christianity .... I am currently reading it and the book has much more to it than just that...it explores the inner depth of mind and your whole existence.... It makes your brain work in such beautiful and tempting way that you can't help feeling goosebumps and shivers... I think you should try giving it one more shot it's so much worth reading... Borahae 💜

[@himanshikashyap7259]

I should say gulliver's travel is a nice book i have it and its also in my syllabus of 9th and i have read it throughly as the point of view of exam so i can't think that i will ever be forget the story because the story is actually nice and interesting ... You can give it a try 😊

[@mereoleonavermillion420]

The Demian book is really a good book and I'm close to finishing it. There's a lot of books that're as interesting as the 10 books recommended here~ tysm.. also Into the magic shop is the best book that I've read so far.. It's like a book that can calm you down

[@jessicafransson4621]

[@sweetmelody3289]

Have you seen other good references?? I have been searching for some.

[@CellaBella241]

I first read The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) in the 80's while I was in high school on the recommendation of my French teacher. I read it again recently and loved it just as much (if not more now that I was able to make a BTS connection). For those of u wanting to read it, I'd suggest reading up on the author beforehand and his inspiration for the story. (some versions of the book actually have several chapters devoted to his background story). For me personally, it gave the book much deeper meaning. Many tend to simply write this off as a silly little children's book but it is brilliant. Thank you Bookish Theories for this video ... I'm an avid reader (always have been) and have read most of the books you listed here. Stay safe/healthy!

[@strawverrybear8702]

Thanks for sharing this! V also mentioned a book called "I want to go home but I am home" in a Grammy Museum interview. It's been translated into English now! It's such a comforting read 💜

[@Sofia-tt3zb]

I usually get my books from the library, and so a few months ago I had both jungs map of the soul AND Demoan at home. It was really hard to decide which one to read first, since i really wanted to know what the mots series is about, but also i am an EXTREME Wings-era-enthusiast, but i chose to read jungs map of the soul. And by the time I was done i had to return the books. BOTH. Ever since, Demian hasn't been available at all * sad noises *

1. Demian: finished it 2. Murakami Haruki: on my iPad 3. Owl Service: I was looking for the BBC TV Serie, but English is not my native tongue, so... i will try with the book.

Gulliver’s Travels: I haven’t read it 6. The Little Prince: I read it long time ago, i bougth it 7.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: I have read it, but i didnt remeber so, i will read it again 9. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: I read it long, long time ago. Although my favorite Verne's is The misterious island 10. Into the Magic Shop: I have it on my iPad Bonus.

[@Maraaha55]

Wonderful list : and a great idea. More please! I know of several of these, obviously and have of course read a few. I particularly thank you for those which are new to me - Murakami Haruki - I have liked every Japanese ish book I've read; Owl Service (have always loved Alan Garner so this is a potential winner for me); Into the Magic Shop sounds right up my street; The ones who walked away ... I really really want to like Ursula Le Guin for so many reasons, but have never managed to finish any of her books that I've tried - I'm sad about that because she seems such a tremendously Good Egg! and I think I'd love to have known her in real life (though in my experience it's hard to know any writer if you don't like their work!)

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy started life many, many years ago as a comedy radio series on BBC Radio 4, it was totally brilliant and original. It was subsequently turned into a BBC TV series and eventually, much, much later became a film. It’s so sad that Douglas Adams died young and we never really got very much more of his comedic insights.

Master of Psychology here....Carl Jung was first and foremost the most influential to me during my studies....so to see the reference years late with one of my faves groups was auspicious and inspiring all at once.

Thank you for the book recommendations. I've read Gulliver’s Travels, The Little Prince (this is a good one), The Adventures of Pinocchio, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (there's also a film of this), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. These are all really good books. I remember wanting to read Into The Magic Shop; I saw this book on amazon a while back and it looked interesting (I think I was watching something about the brain and psychology at the time and the video mentioned the book.) I've also got into listening to music I haven't heard before. I would love to see more videos like this one :)

Ugh, people bring up Kafka on the Shore a lot, but it's not brought up as much as Demian. But the forest that's always brought up in Jimin's music videos--the painting, Fake Love and Black Swan lyrics, etc. Ugh. In Fake Love, when they're like "I forgot the route." ;__; If felt so sad for Kafka. And just the crows and butterflies random splashed throughout the videos. So good. It's my favorite book out of all the ones mentioned. It totally gave me the feeling like I was lucid dreaming. Very odd.
