在飞机上读到一段话，觉得说的就是自己：

“I am never happier than when I am in a bookshop. 

I
feel at peace in a way that I do not feel anywhere else. I feel my mind
calm and my anxieties flee for the duration of my visit. It is like
magic. 

Nothing else restores me like time in such a place. 

Libraries
of course come close, but unfortunately the older I get, the greedier I
become for the joy of permanently possessing rather than borrowing
books.” 

– Lucy Mangan, Boolish: How Reading Shapes Our Lives

过去我也喜欢逛书店买实体书，后来爱上了Kindle，纸本书就买的少了。再后来Amazon退出了大陆，索性连中文电子书都看得少了，日常阅读以英文为主，基本全部电子化了。碰到好书，kindle读完也会专门网购一本纸本书回来保存，一做纪念和备份，而表对作者的支持。

爱看书的人家中都堆满了书吧，是不是很多书买来很多年了还没翻开过，甚至还没拆封？当初一时冲动就买了，买了就忘了，很多人都这样，我称之为“买书如山倒，看书如抽丝。”

想起一个好玩的日语词 “積ん読”（读作：tsundoku，音似“村斗库”），意思是“只买书，不读”，类似囤书的意思——the
phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in a
home without reading them.

英语中没有对等这个日语词的单词，但 tsundoku已被主流英语字典收录，爱书的英美人都知道，你可以跟你的英语母语书友试试看。
