I love how the community and book clubs are depicted in the book. Along the way, he finds love and friendship and several fellow bibliophiles. This little girl teaches Fikry to love again and see the world with new eyes (She even gets him to look at books in a new way). This is when the first miracle of his life happens - someone abandons a kid in his bookstore - a kid who loves to read. The story is simple - A grumpy owner of a bookstore whose wife has just died is trying to deal with loss -and pushing everyone away because, admit it, we all like to wallow in our misery. Now that I have sufficiently intrigued you, let's talk about the story. Moreover, your chances of getting an eloquent reply from the said bibliophile would also increase exponentially. In today’s world of politically correct language, you can never go wrong with that one. You can be sure that you won’t unknowingly or inadvertently offend someone if you call them a bibliophile.

The term I prefer and which has ONLY positive meanings is - bibliophile. But on a serious note, if you are trying to talk to someone who loves to read and you want to get across as a moderately respectful person, you might want to avoid using “bookworm”. And who wants to be a worm anyway? Not me. Being called a bookworm by some random person who does not know all connotations of the word - that is just not done. I can say I am a bitch and not be insulted by it but if someone else calls me a “bitch”, watch your back for the rest of your life, I’d say. But I think the word is kind of like “bitch”. A lot of people do like being called bookworms and there’s nothing wrong with that. It is being rebranded to be positive and dictionaries have changed the definition of the word to reflect this. The term “bookworm” is not necessarily negative today.
