@NickEast_IndieWriter Do they have a word for letting dishes pile up, for the joy of not doing them?

@NickEast_IndieWriter Literally put up two dedicated tsundoku shelves next to my bed last week.

@GinevraCat I thought the joy part came from them being wild, shelfless, free-range books

@NickEast_IndieWriter Mine were too free-range. They were starting to hunt as a pack.

@GinevraCat That can be a problem, but I thaught mine to hunt dust bunnies so it's a win-win

@NickEast_IndieWriter A neat stack of books is not clutter

@heinragas I'd have to agree, the one in the picture is a bit prim and proper for my taste. I like my piles to have a more natural thrown-around-the-room like nobody cares look

It's a much nicer word than "hoarding."

It's not like it's a moral failing or anything, so no judgement... but I would argue this is neglect. Organizing, and storing books in a protected location where you can easily access them doesn't preclude them from giving you "the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories".
