Tsundoku
( Japanese : 積ん読 ) is acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.
A Japanese colloquium, It contains elements of tsunde-oku (積んでおく, which denotes a steadily growing piling up of things ready to be used later and dokusho (読書, reading books). In modern parlance it can denote a pile of books on the floor, or also be used to refer to books on a bookshelf ready to be read at a later date. As currently written, the word combines the characters for "pile up" (積) and the character for "read" (読).
