Tsundoku is a Japanese word which means to buy books that you cannot read at all and pile them up. I think it is the disease of this age. However, to be a good reader, I think it is best to be surrounded by books. To want to be a good reader is not enough, you also have to buy the time in order to read the book that you bought.
Moreover, to pile up the books that you get from a bookshop or an online shopping website is a problem that every good reader will face someday. This situation creates a feeling of guilt, but the books we pile and don’t read have an effect on us as much as the books we read. The unread books remind us that we still do not know everything and thus they keep us away from egoism. If we do not keep our library expanding, our enthusiasm to read books and personal evolution will stop eventually. The unread books keep us wonder continuously.
Do not hesitate to fill your personal library with unread books. They will expand your curiosity and imagination. A library filled with books that you read will lose its power, but a library with books that you haven’t read yet will be a remarkable one. So, do not afraid to pile up some books. 🙂
