It’s 2019 and we bookworms should really form aTsundoku reading club. This Japanese slang, which originated way back in the Meiji era, literally means piling books up for later reading—and we must admit bibliophiles are all guilty of hoarding books and leaving them untouched for years.

There’s nothing wrong with having a room full of unread books. And who are we to blame you? The bookstore is such a wonderful place to lose your sense of time (and self) in, as you go through its different shelves. There’s just so much to see, so much left to read, and so much books to lust over.

Penguin’s Classics Box Set is bound to fuel your book-buying addiction—we know ours is. Curated in this set, which is sold at P5,999 at Fully Booked, are the first 80 titles under the Penguin Classics series. These pocket-sized books with the iconic minimalist black-and-white covers feature the works of revered fictionists, poets, historians, and philosophers.

The classics series was created to take readers back in time, for them to live in its fiction and history. The assortment of books come from across the globe and across many centuries, including notable written works from the West to the East.

This 80-piece set contains a huge range of novels, short stories, poetry, publishing the works of Charles Darwin (“It was Snowing Butterflies”), Hans Christian Andersen (“The Tinder Box”), Edgar Allan Poe (“The Tell-Tale Heart”), Leo Tolstoy (How Much Land Does a Man Need?”), Friedrich Nietzsche (“Aphorisms on Love and Hate”), Oscar Wilde (“Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime), among many others.

Individually, the books are priced from P65 to P90.

The box set was first released in celebration of Penguin’s 80th anniversary in 2015. Currently, there are 129 books in the Little Black Series.
