The Unread Shelf, or My Tsundoku
Are you a practitioner of tsundoku?
After reading a blog post on tsundoku and learning what it was, I wanted to create a more prominent reminder of my tendency to buy books that I want to read…and then never actually read. I own books that I bought as far back as early college, nearly ten years ago, that still sit unread on my bookshelf.
I discovered I needed a space for my habit of tsundoku.
tsundoku, 積ん読 (Japanese)
(n.) the act of leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up together with other such unread books
