"Is there a book you've read recently? I want to start reading books, do you have any to recommend?"

The BTS leader promptly revealed it to be The Weight of Words, the English translation of the German book Das Gewicht der Worte by Pascal Mercier. Not only did he confirm the title, but he also candidly admitted to not having finished reading it.

"‘The Weight of Words’ (Das Gewicht der Worte.) I havent finished reading it.."
