"Tsundoku" (積ん読) — Japanese word for "the practice of buying a lot of books and keeping them in a pile because you intend to read them but have not done so yet; also used to refer to the pile itself" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tsundoku
I first encountered the word on the old, now sad site, in a tweet from Rob Macfarlane, who is a wonderfully thoughtful nature writer (& more) —a sample: https://linktr.ee/robmacfarlane
