Akademische Quellen finden/herunterladen ist auch ein bisschen wie Bücher kaufen - das Lesen ist ein separates Hobby 😓 😅

Tanken som räknas, har jag hört. Själv har min #tsundoku tagit paus, inte en enda ny bok köpt på fram i år 😎

TIL: I'm suffering from #Tsundoku for several years now... ;)

We definitely follow the Japanese method, here.

Untranslatable word of the day:

🇯🇵 積ん読 (tsundoku)
The act of buying books and letting them pile up, unread — fully intending to read them someday.

Every language nerd I know lives in a state of permanent tsundoku.

No shame. Just a beautiful word for a universal habit.

Unprompted text message from my wife this morning:

#books #tsundoku

Anyone else ever just get overwhelmed by the number of books they are trying to read at one time? I've got 4 on my nightstand right now, plus 2 ebooks. I think I have a problem.

#reading #books #tsundoku

Next stop: un libro relacionado (Gödel) cuyas 800+ páginas llevo años/décadas procrastinando sin leer pero estoy seguro de que es más inteligente y sabio.

#tsundoku
Tsundoku could be the operative word here. That Japanese term for getting books, and letting these just accumulate, but not actually reading any. Or, a more benign interpretation, leaving open the possibility of reading these later. Which, I should note, I really do want to, I'm just not quite sure when I'll get to it.
At any rate, this is the top of the stack of books I have not yet read.
.
Top right, clockwise:
Hillary Mantel "The mirror and the light" (loved the first two of the series, but am having trouble "getting into" this one);
Jonathan Franzen "Crossroads" (read several of his books, this is still waiting);
Ian McEwan "What we can know" (one of my fave writers, so a nice xmas gift);
Barbara Kingsolver "Demon Copperhead" (with so many plugging this one, plus a Pulitzer, I just had to get a copy);
Elif Shafak "There are rivers in the sky" (hearing so much praise that it ended up on the stack);
Tony Judd "Postwar" (felt I had to read this one, if only to understand how we got where we find ourselves in this moment, but have only just made it past the first 100 pages)
.
If anyone has similarily "succumbed" to the tsundoku experience, or perhaps just a (hopefully temporary) reading slump, let us know. And if you got back to reading again, I'm super interested in how you did that.
