"If you have a bibliophobe in your family, here are a few suggestions.
First, take the child to the library and find the area with books about
his or her favorite hobbies."
Kate Tsubata, Summer vacation isn't a break from reading,
The Washington Times, Jun 30, 1998.
This week's theme: words about book-lovers (and haters).

Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed
be doing at that moment. -Robert Benchley
