Habit of buying books and letting them pile up without reading them

Tsundoku is a Japanese term that refers to the act of accumulating books that you don't have time to read. It's a common phenomenon where people buy or collect books with the intention of reading them, but they end up piling up, unread.

The word "Tsundoku" is derived from the Japanese words "tsunde" (to pile up) and "doku" (to read).

Tsundoku is not just about books; it's also a reflection of our consumer culture and our desire to acquire knowledge. It's a reminder that sometimes, we need to slow down, prioritize, and enjoy the process of reading and learning.

Now, let's ask ourselves: Are we guilty of Tsundoku? Do we have unread books piling up on our shelves?
