@DoubleTreble @bookstodon this is a good problem to have!

Surrounding yourself with #UnreadBooks is a reminder of how much #YouDontKnow , and that's valuable knowledge to have.

#tsundoku is the Japanese word for this

Tsundoku: The art of buying books and never reading them

Do you have a habit of picking up books which you never quite get around to reading? That's tsundoku.

Tsundoku "is the Japanese word for the stack(s) of books you’ve purchased but haven’t read."

#TLDR - surrounding yourself with #books is good.

#Sermon - The #unread books in one's personal #library serve as a valuable reminder of how much we #DontKnow

That #wisdom is as important as the #knowledge gained from the books you've already read

What our shelves of unread books teach us about ourselves

Many readers buy books with every intention of reading them, only to let them linger on the shelf. The Japanese call this practice tsudoku.

@Artisttomo My Japanese kids books I bought to read on Amazon and Google ebooks, if they were not in Electronic form would wipe out a good sized forest.

For my #Introduction2, here's #MyTopShelf, which is where all my #UnreadBooks live (although not normally this artfully arranged, if I'm honest, more of a dusty heap)
@joshcarlosjosh I'm waiting for the internet to go down to read my bookcase.
