When you've eaten all you can and you can't eat any more, you're full, but what do you call the same thing when you can't read anymore?
After sorting through the slush pile of new stories and reading twenty chapters of mostly crap, what do you call it when you can't physically read another word?

Tsundoku is the Japanese term for buying books and letting them pile up, but never getting around to reading them.
So like... the opposite of that.

readen - (archaic or dialect) past participle of read
