This study is to research how and which works we (as a modern reader) has selected as a today`s reading books from the past and recommended today`s readers. Further more this study aims to investigate the origin of the tradition or convention of selecting and recommending Korean Classical literature as today`s reading books. As a result, we understood that all today`s classical literature books were kinds of recommended books because of being existed by someone`s selecting and rewriting unlike the modern literature or another reading books. And we found that Korean classical literature has been discovered as the object of rewriting for fun, learning for exam,and reading for general education. And then the selected and recommended Korean classical literature books has built and reinforced today`s reading repertories. In such a way, recommended books has been getting some special status as a reading book. Last, we suggested the selected and recommended works did not much different from repertories constructed in early period of Korean Classical literature research. The reason of recommendation did not much differ with them of early period, too. So we proposed the reason or method of recommendation would be diversified, and then proposed a possible way which presumed a specific indivisual as a reader.
