Lee: Yes, I read them all.

R: (Very surprising!) What kinds of books do you usually read?
Lee: I like books about history, especially novels of history like Samgukgee and Youlgukgee (40%). And I love fantasy novels (50%), too.

R: When you see books, you are you just absorbed in the books, right? Have you had any embarrassing experiences?
Lee: Well, several times it felt like I was hitting a telegraph pole. I have a tendency to read pretty fast, my bag is always full of books. So I was naturally picked out as the heaviest backpack lifter among my classmates.

R: As the most extensive reader, what do you think about the facility at the UOS library? Are you satisfied with the quality of books?
Lee: I am satisfied with them. However, there are several things I want to point out. Whenever I see new books in the library, I find most of them are for exams. I hope to see various kinds of books. Sometimes, the books are not in the right place and books borrowed long ago have not been returned. Some books were even damaged.

R: Are there any books that you would like to recommend to the readers of The UOS Times?
Lee: 「The Story of the Roman」(Shiono Nanami) In this book, you can find the good model of an idealist and this book helps you find what you can do in your life. Besides, we can find the similarity of politics between Rome and Korea. I hope you will read it. It’s really worth reading!
