Tsundokutsoon-do-koo

n. Leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up together with other unread books. The tsundoku scale can range from just one unread book to a serious hoard, so you are most likely guilty of it. As intellectual as you may look tripping over an unread copy of Great Expectations on your way to the front door, those pages probably deserve to see the daylight.
