A person who consumes or devours books, especially one who reads voraciously or consumes books without discrimination or true understanding.
From Greek biblio- (book) and -phage (eater, from phagein 'to eat'). The term emerged in the 19th century to describe readers who consumed large quantities of books, sometimes with a mildly pejorative connotation suggesting excessive or uncritical reading.
A bibliophage differs from a bibliophile the way a fast-food consumer differs from a gourmet chef—they love books, but they're more interested in the quantity and speed of consumption than the quality of the experience or deep understanding.
