browsing bookshelves —bursting of books— in bookstores oddly relaxes me. If something piques my interest enough and I have some bucks I can spare, I buy it. For some time, I've been buying books that... I end up not reading; I put 'em in queue "to read" but another book would fascinate me at another point that I'd lose priority, not necessarily interest, on the previous ones.
They pile up. Unread.
Somewhere safe in my room.
I am a tsundoku.
I buy more than I can read;
I still buy books I know I won't read.
are you a tsundoku as well?
ps.
the books in the photo aren't the ones i "let to pile up" as i have already finished half of 'em. some more than once; others i only perused intermittently as i can't read non-fiction the way i devour fiction books and manga~
