Tsundoku

Tsundoku

japanese (noun)

the act of leaving books unread after buying it, typically piled up together with such other unread books.

Thanx to this word, now I know that it is not only me and there are other people in this world that buy books and leave them at home without reading. It is not because we don't love reading, or think these books are boring. It is because....

I really don't know the reason))) Personally, I have a reading crisis sometimes. It is when I don't ready any book, because I can't. Maybe the wrong mood or just because. The thing is during the crisis you feel guilty like you are postponing a very important thing to do. And the same with these books. Everytime you look at them you feel bad, and still want them to be somewhere near (in case the crisis is gone). The end of the crisis mostly come with a book that you can't put down. And the end of the guilt (not the very end, you still feel bad afterwards too) comes when you put the book you were going to read for a long time on a bookshelf. This gesture means that you just give up and will keep the book as a decoration or something, and even someone wants to read it you won't give it to them because your love towards books is so strong, that you can't let any of them get out of the collection.

This is the list of the books that I bought, but they are still on a list to read (some of them were left in the middle and I may forget others coz mostly my book are back home): 

В. Гюго - Отверженные (Victor Hugo - Les Miserables)
Э. А. По - Повести и Рассказы (Edgar Allan Poe - Short stories)
Т. Драйзер - Американская трагедия (Theodore Dreiser - An American Tragedy)
Дж. К. Роулинг -  Случайная вакансия (J.K. Rowling - Casual Vacancy)
М. Леви - Первая ночь (Marc Levy - The First Night)
P. Coggan - Money Machine
D. H. Lawrence - Lady Chatterley's Lover

There's a huge list of  books that I'm willing to read someday. No way I can remember all of them and write here :) And the quote from the book that I'm currently reading will be the best way to describe my situation, even though I do read now:

"I'll have more time for reading when I'm old and boring."
