In stock
Tsundoku is a heartwarming story about people who love books simply because they're there.
This book is about those who enter a bookstore "for a minute" and leave with a huge bag. For those who know that even unread pages inspire and remind them that there's always another story ahead, one they can return to when a special moment arrives.
The Japanese word "tsundoku" consists of two characters: "packing" and "reading." Living among unread books and feeling free is the subtle art of tsundoku, which anyone who frequently visits book fairs and stores should master.
The author, hiding behind the collective pseudonym "Taiki Raito Pim," is not one person, but an entire community of book lovers.
You'll embark on a true journey through the world of book rituals: reading diaries that teach you to notice your desires; exercises for those who collect meanings as carefully as they do volumes; 100 Best Excuses for Buying a New Book Without Reading the Old Ones
You'll also learn:
- How to overcome the embarrassment of not reading a book everyone knows about?
- Why is it okay to give up halfway through?
- What makes the story of Izumi, a Japanese girl living among her favorite books, so similar to our own?
