One who is fond of reading is called?

My respected teachers,

(1) Is there an individual word for a person who likes reading all the time or fond of reading any books to increase his knowledge or information?

(2)

''Having learnt English I went to the UK.'' Correct?

''Having learnt English I will go to the UK.'' Correct?

Thanks!

Apart from Book worm....anothere word cud be Wonk....though a bit slangish.

I feel in the second sentence the better way is "After learning english......I will go to the UK

Hi Kitosdad,

How do you call a person who never listens to you till the end during a discussion but imposes his thought about what he "sees" in your mind ?

Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice time !

Huong.
