- #1April 23, 2018"I love to learn about Korean culture since I'm part Korean. My brother recommended this book to me called Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea. It's a book by Barbara Demick and follows the lives of six North Koreans over 15 years. It talks about their lives in the closed world of North Korea. It's incredibly eye-opening; it makes you appreciate everything you have in this country of freedom called the USA. Definitely check this out!"

Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West - #4April 26, 2018"This is a interesting look on North Korean culture not Korean culture in general. It is a terrible tragedy these people face with the indoctrinated culture and insane leader. I could not believe what I had read but it was truthful. Awful story but apt title."

The Two Koreas - #9May 19, 2018"This is not the best tool for learning Korean. It's so basic that you can't grasp the concepts that you need to develop the language. There are many better options and I suggest you seek out those instead of this one."
