"Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love my tsundoku."
The attraction of book stores and libraries - including one's own!
"These selves of unexplored ideas propel us to continue reading, continue learning, and never be comfortable that we know enough. Jessica Stillman calls this realization intellectual humility."
As the friend who shared the article said: "I call it humbling myself. . . which does bring calm."
Article can be read and/or listened to in the "Neuropsych" section. (I like the term "human nature" - seems less clinical, and more normal!)

Actually, I have 10 books I am in various stages of reading include Former VA Secretary Shulkin's booked entitled - It shouldn't this hard serve one's country. 125 annotated and highlighted pages in has been interesting so far!

Interesting title. Brings to mind the Camp Lejeune problem 53-86 . . . 33 years before the problem was discovered?!! Really? And another 33-36 for VA to stop denying cause and effect? That is as bad as denying Agent Orange health problems for so long. If some one retired after 20-30 years they would be close to 80, or 90 if still living. VA does the same again and again and again so folks either die of old age or the medical condition being denied.

PO1 Mary Vermont Agreed!
The definition of "tsundoku" apparently is being surrounded by too many of one's own books! Apparently the convenience of them being available is reassuring - or a way of feeling good about rationalizing the accumulation!
I know the problem - past time to sort and donate. Keeping reference books though!
