Piles of books spark joy 😁

Post by Elle Lookbook
In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up,
not from neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.

It’s not like it’s a moral failing or anything, so no judgement… but I would argue this is neglect. Organizing, and storing books in a protected location where you can easily access them doesn’t preclude them from giving you “the joy of knowing they’re there, full of untold stories”.


It’s a much nicer word than “hoarding.”

@ivanafterall How many piles does it take to make a hoard? Inquiring readers need to know 😜
