Since i was a kid, i have been used to read book or magazine. In my language, people who used to read book is called "kutu buku". Kutu means bug Buku means book So literally "kutu buku" means bug of book, or equals to bookworm in english. What do you call bookworm term in your language?

Bookworm is the nickname that Spider Man character Eugene "Flash" Thompson calls Peter Parker since Flash is a football player at Empire State University while Peter is a student.
