How’s your tsundoku? In our present time of limited distraction, I’m hoping to eat my way through mine.

For tsundoku is the Japanese word for books piling up, unread.

Learned readers will of course appreciate that this is a positive thing.

It’s another of those valuable concepts ( Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, wabi-sabi) that the Japanese have a word for.

More here (Open Culture), here (Wikipedia) and here (BBC).
