In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up,
not from neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.

Reply by M. Nolan Gray
"Babe, it's not clutter. It's the Japanese practice of tsundoku."

I do all of these, which one I use seems to motly depend on the quality of the book 🤔

🦭🔒 Uh-oh! Tulip is behind bars today. What are his crimes?

Let me know in the comments what you think this guilty little guy has been locked-up for.

(Tulip is one of the patients at the seal rehab centre I am currently working at. Just feeling silly and wanted to share a cute photo of him!)

A lady came into the library yesterday and asked if we had a particular book. I helped her find it and she was super happy. Her grandson is 12 and lives a plane ride away so she has started reading whatever book he's reading and then they have a weekly FaceTime where they discuss it. I just thought that
was such a nice way to stay connected to a kid who lives far away.

Well, it seems the 'Yes' vote for an audiobook version won by a slight margin 😁

Which I completely understand, I wouldn't want to listen to me either 😂

Question, would anyone be interested in an Audiobook version of The Last Philosopher read by me? 😁

I'm trying to decide what to work on next...

What do you mean OR? 🤔
I can broil in existential dread and plot a fantasy series at the same time. 😂 Luckily I don't make mistakes, at least not any I'm willing to admit too 😜

Apparently some people go to bed and just...sleep???
They don't plot a 7-book epic fantasy series or softly broil in existential dread or replay every mistake they ever made???
And then they wake up [checks notes] REFRESHED? | just. It sounds a bit fake.
