North Korea

[close] This is a book club for discussing Korea-related books. Everyone is welcome.

[close] Having just published THE PYONGYANG OPTION, a spy thriller set in North Korea, I've had a wide range of discussions with readers, fellow fiction authors and experts on Korea. So, as one of the few authors to have visited North Korea, I've decided to set up this group to further delve into this interesting topic, whether or not you've read my books. North Korea remains a mysterious and dangerous country, and this ensures that it will continue to be featured in thrillers and mysteries. Tell me about fiction you've read or written featuring North Korean characters, plots or settings.

[close] To whom it may concern: Welcome to the intellectual elite that is our books association. We represent the future of our society, and strongly believe sharing our sources of inspiration might contribute to a better world for our grandchildren, cats, and other relevant organisms. Please join (we are desperate). This is not a request, this is a threat. We know who you are. Come join the dark side. I know you secretly watch anime, now read this book on the Japanese economy. I dare you.

[close] From the far east, I would like to begin reading the best-sellers and classics. I'm personally interested in Travel books and works written by Expats as well, but the focus I'd like to keep will be on those works often passed over, those translated for better or worse. We may foray into the Mid-East and South-East if there is interest on my part (or yours). It will be hard to keep me up on this, but I will start in the new year, and anyone who wants to join my exploration is more than welcome.
