The Garden of Virginia Woolf (Tales from Monk’s House)
While diving into this book, I imagined Monk’s House garden as a mini-universe, tenderly nurtured year after year by Virginia and her husband Leonard. They lived as if they were born to be there, tirelessly striving to make it a better place, finding peace, and finally confronting death within its embrace.

Murakami T
It felt as dull as ‘What’s There in Laos Anyway?’ or ‘The Scrap.’ However, I’m hesitant to say it won’t be enjoyable for first-time Haruki essay readers.

Cheese and Butter
A friend asked me. “Ever heard of ‘Cheese’?” …Well, I’ve only tasted it. 😅 Speaking of which, BTS’s ‘Butter’ would have suited Michael Jackson perfectly.

Rain and IU
After breakfast, with nothing much to do, I stared out the window for a while. Two days in a row, and the rain was starting to feel a bit monotonous. The sky was clearing up, and puddles on the ground showed no more raindrops. Playing music for over 24 hours isn’t easy. But suddenly, the…

Quantum Physics and the Plug
Logically, the plug should fit before you rotate it 180 degrees, but strangely, even after spinning it 360 degrees, it just won’t go in. Twisting your neck, bending your head, and folding your shoulders into a pretzel-like position while spinning the plug can make your frustration skyrocket in an instant.
