Librocubicularist

   Are you a librocubicularist?

I discovered today that I am a librocubicularist.

Mind you, if a word begins with the magic letters 'libr' (from the Latin for book) there's a good chance I'm one.

A librocubicularist is simply 'one who reads in bed'.

 

 Now it just so happens I know someone who reads somewhere else (don't you, GB!).  But I don't think that has a name yet...
