Call of mountain
Call of mountain
At 10 a.m. on Nov. 3, a special funeral service took place at Seoul National University Hospital for Park Young-seok, one of the world's best and greatest mountaineers Korea has ever produced, and for his two fellow veteran climbers. It was observed without their bodies.

Parting With Readers Digest
This morning, to my mild surprise, I realized that I have not read ``Reader's Digest" for quite a long time. Hurriedly, I checked the pile of old issues in the corner of my study and discovered that I have not received a copy in more than six months. I was puzzled at first, but soon realized that my annual subscription expired last May and I had not renewed it.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover
For the first time in a long while, one day last week I went to downtown Seoul and dropped in at the Kyobo Book Center. Walking to the place after getting off the subway train at City Hall I got confused by the sea-change that has been made to the city during that time.

The Little Mermaid
On returning home from a weeklong sightseeing trip to four Northern European countries this summer, including Denmark, what I felt like doing first, and actually did, was to take my anthology of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales from the bookshelf and reread ``The Little Mermaid," among others.

A Tale of Two Magazines
As a long and faithful reader and subscriber of two internationally famous weekly news magazines, ``Time'' and ``Newsweek'', I find myself having become somewhat critical and choosy about reading them recently.

From Need to Choice
Although I have thrown away several of them, I still have four fountain pens in store at home. Each one has its own sentimental value for me.
