Why not choose your three books from the Forest Library?

Mori Library is a privately-run library with a collection of approximately 30,000 books.
We will be launching a new project in which three books will be selected at this library.

What three books would you choose?
There is no theme for the book selection. This is an opportunity to test your own book selection and creativity.
I can introduce any book in the library, including books I read a long time ago and books whose bindings I found interesting.

Every time, about 50% of the participants at this event are first-timers.
No advance preparation is required.
Please use this as a place to share with others who love reading!

*Due to venue restrictions, the maximum number of participants is approximately 20.
When we reach capacity, we will close the application.
