Tsundoku

[1][2][3][4] The term is also used to refer to unread books on a bookshelf meant for reading later.

[4] It combines elements of the terms tsunde-oku (積んでおく, "to pile things up ready for later and leave"), and dokusho (読書, "reading books").

[4] The American author and bibliophile A. Edward Newton commented on a similar state in 1921.

[5] In his 2007 book The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb coined the term "antilibrary", which has been compared with tsundoku.
