Los libros y los insectos

"There is no such thing as a 'bookworm,'--escribe Keith Houston en The Book--, but there are countless species of beetle, cricket, moth, silverfish, and cockroach that feast on paper and the substances used to treat it, and that, given a chance, will bore clean through a scroll or a book."

Fortunately (or unfortunately), I, at one time or another, have been labeled a “bookworm”: To this day I have no idea what that means.

Perhaps some day, someone will explained it all to me.
