Tsundoku: The art of buying books and never reading them

BBC produced a brilliant article about the Japanese word “tsundoku” 積読（つんどく）. Please read it at https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44981013

つんどく is particulary funny because it sounds very much like a casual verb,  つんでおく(keep [things] piled up).

Anyway, I thought this might be a good opportunity to introduce a few words which end in 読（どく）

黙読（もくどく）- silent reading

音読（おんどく）- reading out loud

朗読（ろうどく）- reading out loud in front of an audience

通読（つうどく）- reading through

再読（さいどく）- rereading

乱読（らんどく）- random reading

精読（せいどく）- intensive reading

購読（こうどく）- subscribing

They are all nouns but all can be used with する or しますand be used as a verb.
