Of all the things BTS have contributed to selling out, from outfits to household items, RM‘s “it” product is — well, as ARMYs have put it — “so Namjoon“.

As Korea’s leading online shopping website Interpark‘s literary branch BookDB revealed RM’s reading list, comprised of all books he has mentioned and/or was seen reading so far, ARMYs are feeling inspired to curl up in a cozy blanket and read away this winter.

Note: The full list is provided at the bottom of the article.

The list, as BookDB explained, is “like a rainbow, covering a wide spectrum of genres.” From fictional novels to poetry, timeless classics to self-improvement essays, RM fueled his brain with anything and everything!

"In an interview, RM once introduced author Hwang Kyung Shin’s 11PM and commented that he was surprised to read [his] thoughts expressed so accurately in words."

— BookDB

As apparent from his all-inclusive preference of reading material, RM seems to understand and appreciate how books can feed inspiration and creativity. It is no wonder, with all these great works in his head…

A person’s bookshelf tells a lot about that person… And these books have had somewhat of an influence in making RM who he is today.

— BookDB

… that he is able to produce BTS’s hottest hits!
