Tsundoku: Buying books and not reading them; letting books pile up unread on shelves or floors or nightstands.
"We have far too many books. You have far too many books," Thor tells Loki one evening after he opens the armoire to store his armour and is promptly buried under an avalanche of paper and letters. He picks himself out from underneath the pile, trying not to damage anything, lest he provoke Loki's wrath, and places his hands on his hips as he surveys the mound of books lying at his feet.
"Have you even read any of these?" Thor wants to know, picking up a title at random and holding it upside down for a few moments, wondering what language it was in before finally realising his mistake and turning it right side up. "This is a Midgardian tome," he says after squinting at the title for a few moments. "Fifty Shades of Grey? I was not aware there was such a range for such an uninteresting colour."
At that, Loki scrambles from his place on the bed to snatch the book out of Thor's hands. Thor looks at him in confusion, and Loki huffs in annoyance, a flush of embarrassment crawling across his cheeks as he hides the book behind his back.
"I'm going to read all of them," he mutters in irritation, and Thor looks on in bemusement as Loki flicks his wrist, sends the books flying back into the armoire to stack themselves neatly once again, leaving plenty of room for Thor's armour. Once the job is done, Loki turns to Thor, not meeting his eye. "I just haven't gotten around to them yet."
Thor arches an eyebrow at Loki's clear discomfort, and decides to leave his questions for another day.
Thor did eventually find Loki's copy of Fifty Shades of Grey, flipped randomly to the middle, and read for about three minutes before slamming the book closed and going off to find Loki.
