But who doesn't have a lot of unread books? It's nice, though, just to know that they're there.
In "The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds," Alexander McCall Smith reflects on the experience of having unread books. He highlights a common scenario where many people possess a collection of books that they haven't opened yet. This situation resonates with countless readers who, despite the unread pages, find comfort in simply knowing these books exist on their shelves.
This sentiment captures a unique aspect of reading culture, where the potential for future exploration and knowledge resides in those unread tomes. The presence of these books serves as a reminder of the vast worlds and ideas waiting to be discovered, adding a sense of richness and anticipation to the reader's literary journey.
