The Imperfectist and the pile of books
Embracing finitude
“Very well then: here you are. Here we all are. Now… what might be some good things to do with your time?
- Oliver Burkeman
A Tsundoku is a Japanese word that means pile of books.
It may mean them like part of the decoration, sculptures and wall panels of books, overflowing from bookshelves, taking over armchairs and so on. I don’t know, I don’t speak Japanese. - But I imagine that’s the context.
I saw one definition that said it’s buying books and not reading them…
Having a word for a thing is a kind of art.
