Summary:
Tsundoku (noun, Japanese): buying books and not reading them; letting books pile up unread on shelves or floors or nightstands. Tartle (verb, Scots): to hesitate while introducing or meeting someone because you have forgotten their name. Discover these and many other words to surprise, delight, and enamor. Terms for flirtacious talk that leads nowhere, for the urge to peer into other people's windows, for that sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees.
