voracious reader

Consumes books constantly

A voracious reader consumes books with exceptional appetite and speed, moving eagerly from one to the next.

The phrase combines voracious (greedy, insatiable) with the suggestion that reading is a form of hunger: She's a voracious reader who goes through three novels a week.

The term implies enthusiasm rather than mere habit.
