Today's Word: Biblioclast

How to read: BIB-lee-uh-klast

Meaning: One who destroys or mutilates books.

Vietnamese meaning: Người phá hoại hoặc cắt xén sách.

He grabbed the book almost before it landed on my desk and, with a zeal that would have made a Nazi biblioclast proud, set it alight and threw it into the bin while crossing himself with a ruler. A week later I was summoned to the office of the school library to explain why I hadn’t returned said book. I said: ‘Because Mr Raving destroyed it, sir.’ Aghast he replied: ‘Another one?!’”
