    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku

    Tsundoku (積ん読) is the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in a home without reading them.

    Seems to be quite universal phenomenonemon. I wonder if theres a word for someone who spends a year or two buying books, letting them pile up and then has a few month period where they read for hours and hours every day. If there is, that would be me.

      There’s Patient Gamer, so we’ll call you Patient Reader. Where, you don’t let the tide of FOMO dictate what you should read and when.

        That sounds good to me. I actually have some major JOMO these days, with pretty much everything. I think the most recent film I’ve watched is from 2019, the most recent music I listen to is ~2011-12, I enjoy listening to people tell me about that party/event/whatever they went to and I didn’t etc. So your description fits better than you knew lol
