        I recommend Jurassic Park as it is different enough from the movie and a good book. If you want some classic reading, then Dracula is a fun read I think. I enjoy the style of that book with journal entries and letters between friends. It seems ahead of its time to me, but I am likely wrong about this.

        The aftermath and subsequent generational trauma from the South Korean Gwang-Ju Uprising Massacre in 1980, where dictator Chun Doo-Hwan ordered the military to murder middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, and regular civilians that protested in favor of democracy and labor rights.

        It’s an absolutely gut-wrenching read, told from many perspectives, to show just how pervasive and lasting such an event can be. Thousands were murdered and thrown into unmarked graves, accused of being Communists sent from the North. Prisoners taken were tortured and raped on flimsy allegations, and double the population of Gwang-Ju’s worth of bullets were sent, just in case.
