The local library’s summer reading program includes an adult category. One must log six hundred minutes over eight weeks to finish; I had completed it by the end of the first week and dispensed with the online log after entering more than 2,300 minutes. Ordinarily, my August calendar includes a “Pick up library prize” note, but the lackluster selection last year coupled with the rapidity with which I finished effectively put the program right out of my head — until I received the library’s weekly newsletter, which advised readers that the prize room was closing at the end of the month. I had been meaning to read Crying in H Mart for a while, in part because of this review, so I am glad I caught the reminder before my fall semester schedule got underway.

What is your Fall schedule?

The big commitments are the return to weekly music lessons and weekly band rehearsals (and the required daily practice time of at least two hours) and the Latin tutorial. I’m not currently committed to any reading groups or courses, though — apart from the #FaulknerinAugust. A friend and I are reading Nights of Plague for a meeting this month and then The Magic Mountain slowly over the autumn months with three discussion meetings.
How about you?

Crying in H mart is a great read but even better audio… you get the various Korean words spoken Correctly and this adds to the experience of the book.
Enjoy!
