High school sophomore Ban Yoon-hwan works part-time at dawn and dusk and sleeps at school. He does not talk to anyone and is not interested in studying. One day, Jinaru, who is known as an outcast in his class, visits the convenience store where Yoon-hwan works and suggests that they become friends. Yoon-hwan refuses without a second thought, and Naru leaves the convenience store with an expression on his face that seems to have expected it. A few days later, Jinaru hears a girl arguing with Naru in the hallway, and immediately tells Naru, โGet out of here. A harsh voice is heard saying, โAre you a parasite?โ After that, Naru does not come to class and really disappearsโฆ โฆ .
Why are you nominating this book: It seems like it might be a mystery and coming of age story, so it should be a similar level of difficulty to other things the club has read. Also, it has an audiobook on Storytel.
The poll is closed and it looks like we want to read ๋ป๋นก์ ๊ณ์ starting next Monday in the 6th. Iโll get a new thread with a schedule set up in the next few days to have it ready to go!
Typo here? Should the second syllable (?) have only one upside-down A? (Sorry, I was going to add this to the book club list and couldnโt figure out for the life of me why I couldnโt find it in Nativelyโs search.)
lol I was trying to figure out what you meant with upside-down A for a minute there thatโs so funny. It is a typo, shame on me as a Korean learner for spelling a basic word wrong hahaha. It is ๋ป๋ฐ์ ๊ณ์
To try and defend my honor it would be pronounced with ใ not ใ even though itโs spelled that way, but it doesnโt make up for mixing up where the double consonant is and not having ใฒ
I might join depending on the level of the book! And if I canโt read this next book then Iโll definitely join for the next one, thatโll leave me plenty of time to get my reading level up
Weโd love to have you! What level are you reading up to these days for reference? Since the club is just for fiction in general, weโve never had any limitationsโฆbut it may be an idea to do one round at a lower level to bring more people on board to level up together
Iโm just recently venturing into level 21, reading ์ด์ํ ๊ณผ์ ๊ฐ๊ฒ ์ ์ฒ๋น, but itโs going fairly well, and I seem to be going faster than the book club went. So I think I could go as high as level 23 and still be able to keep up.
If it can help bring more people onboard - great! But I realise that lvl 23 is still fairly low and there may not be much diversity in the books, so I donโt want to keep you from reading something more interesting.
I personally wouldnโt mind something lower if it meant more people join in - the more the merrier! Worst case if people arenโt interested, a second book club could be set up.
Iโll get a new thread with a schedule set up in the next few days to have it ready to go!
