Tsundoku - when you have more books than you could ever read

The Japanese word tsundoku refers to a situation where you have books piled up in your home that you don't read.  I expect that this situation is familiar to many of us, perhaps you are even guilty of it yourself (I know that I am).

There was an interesting article about this in the Huffington Post, you can read it here:
