Welcome to Animus Libri!

I plan to provide a series of useful book reviews as I mow through my endless queued book stack.

If I have spent the time to consume a book, I may be able to provide a few useful insights to others who may be thinking of buying the book. Alternatively, I may be able to alert people to books which they would otherwise be unaware of and that they may enjoy.

Books reviewed will be of a very diverse variety. I hope to be able to capture the spirit and soul of these books, at least sufficiently enough to help any readers decide if the book would be of interest to them. I'll also try hard not to spoil the storylines of any fiction or non-fiction story.

Below, you will find lists of books currently being actively read, bookmarked (partially read but currently not being actively consumed), and waiting to be read.

20 Untranslatable Words... and some translations....

20 Untranslatable Words

I suppose by untranslatable, they mean not translated by a single equivalent word in another language.

Some of them embody interesting concepts from another culture and other are just simply a piece of the mundane for which most of us just don't have a specific word.
