    "Spitzweg called it Librarian, but the 19th century German public called it The Bookworm. The term is derisive, and was used to describe someone who has eaten his way through books, and is laughed at for being a bookish but unrealistic person."

    "He is reading in the "Metaphysics" section of a large library." Daqui
