From a FB commenter: «This is a mild pun in Japanese. ç©ã‚“ã§ãŠã tsunde-oku is a compound verb meaning "pile up (something) for later use", more slangily pronounced tsundoku, but then doku by itself, if written èª, is the Chinese character-root meaning "read", so swapping that into the word makes it look like a Sinitic compound noun instead of a native-Japanese compound verb.»
