Pachinko | Min Jin Lee

pick

PACHINKO by #MinJinLee is an epic saga spanning nearly 100 years panorama of the life of a Korean family during the Japanese colonization and their relentless pursuit of acceptance and identity in the midst of discrimination and culture absurdities at that time. She tackles large movement of Korean-Japanese history and yet also delivers addictive delights of story and character. This novel is robustly absorbing as it is sympathetically poignant.👏

erzascarletbookgasm I haven‘t read the book but the background is awesome. Where is it? 4y

thevagabondlawyer @erzascarletbookgasm It is the Starfield Library in Seoul. Their biggest library inside a mall. 👏 4y

Pachinko | Min Jin Lee

A very interesting look at Korea and Japan in the 20th Century. Unfortunately, the book drifted into a series of episodes with various characters and I barely got to know any of them close enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️,5 Stars

Found signed copy of #Pachinko at local #Goodwill for $1. Didn‘t know it was signed till I got it home. (Her signature was upside down on page.) While I have never bothered to stand in line to get a book signed by author, it is still cool to think #MinJinLee touched this book . . . my book. What about everyone else? Ever found a signed book at a yard sale? Thrift store? Author signed in person? What‘s your story? #signedbook #thriftbookfind

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awesome find!!! 🙌🏻 6y

BarbaraJean That‘s so cool! I‘ve found a couple of author signatures in books, after buying a book secondhand. My favorite find was a signed Madeleine L‘Engle book that sat on my TBR shelf for so long that by the time I picked up the book to read and found the signature, I wasn‘t even sure where I‘d bought it!

WorldsOkayestStepMom I bought my husband a book off of Thriftbooks a couple years ago and we didn't know it was signed until he opened it on Christmas morning! 6y

MemoirsForMe How cool! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I found a couple at Thrift stores. My favorites were Ray Bradbury and Pat Conroy. 😍 6y

marleed Oh cool - I can‘t wait to read that book. And the cover is gorgeous! 6y

Freespirit It‘s a wonderful book! 6y

VanChocStrawberry I love that! I find signed copies at half price books sometimes—Local-ish authors as well as owl crate books. But my favorite finds are a couple of Madeleine L‘Engle signed copies. 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @VanChocStrawberry oohhh!! L‘Engle signed copies!!!!!! 😱😱♥️♥️😱😱 6y

PurpleyPumpkin Finding signed books is amazing. I'm like you, I love knowing that the author held my book at one point in time. 💜 6y

RealBooks4ever Mostly I like getting to meet the author more than the signature. Recently I met Bill Griffith, the author of the Zippy the Pinhead comics. I just about fainted. 💜 Welcome to Litsy! 6y

NeamhainHughes My sister got me a used copy of Nnedi Okorafor‘s Akata Witch, and I opened it to see her signature in it! Since it‘s basically my favourite series I was ecstatic. 6y

CaitlinR Glad you‘re with us on Litsy. 6y

wanderinglynn I found the first Discworld book signed by Terry Pratchett at a used bookstore. I kept the book. 😉 6y

DivineDiana Fantastic! 6y

Today, it‘s all about the Tree Pose and Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. The Tree Pose is a very basic yoga pose to promote balance and centering.

Was pumped when I saw a new episode of the @EclecticReaders Podcast download to my phone this morning. Listened to it while walking Wicket at the park today.

Laura317 It looks as if Wicket is smiling alongside you. 7y

BillBlume @Laura317 he was definitely working his smirk today. Cracked me up when I saw the pic. 7y

Ruri_kaichou What a lovely walk! Hope you enjoyed the episode! 7y

CrowCAH Looks like you still have some lovely weather! And cute dog and man selfie! 😊 7y

Merethebookgal Awww, Wicket! Hope you liked the episode! 7y

BillBlume @Merethebookgal @Ruri_kaichou definitely enjoyed the episode. More often than not, I haven‘t read the book you‘re talking about, but the conversation never leaves feeling left out because of that. @EclecticReaders, yes, Wicket is dangerously cute! 7y

BillBlume @kylienoele, yep! He loves when we take a long walk, and a good podcast or audiobook provides me with incentive to indulge him. 7y

BillBlume @CrowCAH, thanks! And yeah, we‘ve been very lucky with the weather in Virginia. 7y

jmtrivera So glad you and Wicket enjoyed it! 😊 7y
