Short Story 1 – Tsundoku
Overview As you might guess, host Deirdre Pippins has always been a big fan of Jeopardy. Her voracious appetite for reading has given her a leg-up on the competition when it comes to trivia! She was also always a big fan of Alex Trebek, so she was especially saddened to learn he had been diagnosed with cancer and ultimately passed away. She made it a point to tune into his last episode on January 8, 2021 and was pleasantly surprised to learn about a new word from one of the contestants. The man admitted that he suffers from tsundoku, a Japanese word that the contestant defined as, “Having far more books on your bookshelf than you will ever be able to read.” As a self-proclaimed reading junkie herself, Deirdre felt an immediate connection to both Alex Trebek and the contestant that has stuck with her to this day. Tune into this week’s episode of Bookaholics to learn more! Quotes • “Tsundoku is a Japanese word….Wikipedia defines it as, ‘Acquiring reading materials, but letting them pile up in one’s home without reading them.’ It also says, ‘It’s also used to refer to books ready for reading later when they’re on a bookshelf.’” (1:43-2:14) • “That’s how I watched the last show that Alex Trebek hosted of Jeopardy, knowing that he and I shared something in common other than Jeopardy, and that is tsundoku.” (2:55-3:10) Connect with Me • https://www.book-a-holic.com/ • readingjunkie@book-a-holic.com • https://www.instagram.com/truebookaholic/ • https://www.facebook.com/bookaholicpodcast • https://twitter.com/truebookaholic1 • https://www.pinterest.com/TrueBookaholic/
