Post Body
I am fascinated by lots of non-english languages that have words to express complex ideas or concepts and have no simple English equivalent. My favorite is the Japanese word Tsundoku, which describes one who aquires more books than they could possibly read in a lifetime. My favorite- as I an enthusiastic sufferer of Tsundoku. What are your favorites?
