The fact is that these books we've accumulated and which now reside in \"piles of shame\" on our bedside table, in overflowing bookcases, or even on the floor number too many to be read in a single lifetime. \u003cbr\u003e This is where the art of living \u003ci\u003etsundoku\u003c\/i\u003e comes in: the joy of choosing and buying books, rebellion against must-read lists, and creative ways to organize your bookshelves. Learn the best excuses for when you are caught red-handed buying yet another new book, and the forbidden pleasure of rereading. Enjoy the endless possibilities of stories yet to be discovered by having a house of unread books. But, above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Books are a cure for the soul: just leafing through one makes us feel better immediately. Included throughout are quizzes, creative prompts, and whimsical illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taiki Raito Pym\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Union Square \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781454966982","brand":"Union Square \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48950061334665,"sku":"9781454966982","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_efd627be-1cf6-40cb-85ac-9b9af6daef3c.jpg?v=1794300077","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/tsundoku-the-japanese-art-of-collecting-books-9781454966982","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
